New Avengers #37

Luke Cage leads the charge front and center on this 2008 cover, flanked by Wolverine with claws extended and Doctor Strange conjuring arcane energy, while Ronin, a sword-wielding armored figure, and a dark-clad woman round out the team surging behind them — a group portrait that radiates barely-contained intensity. Leinil Francis Yu's linework gives each character a distinct weight and attitude, making this team feel genuinely formidable rather than just assembled for show. "The Trust Part Six" promises that whatever fractures have tested this squad are about to come to a head.
