New Avengers #3

Al Ewing's "The Dark Is Rising" continues in this third chapter of Marvel's 2016 New Avengers series, with Gerardo Sandoval's cover delivering a striking circular composition framed by fire and crumbling rock. Charging forward with fists clenched is a green-skinned, blond-haired Hulk-like figure in a purple-and-blue costume, while a caped, dark-haired figure with glowing blue hands swoops in dramatically from above. It's a dynamic pairing that captures the raw energy and tension Sandoval brings to this team — colored vividly by Dono Sanchez Almara against a deep black backdrop that makes the flames pop.
