New Avengers #7

The New Avengers are assembled and moving with purpose on David Finch and Danny Miki's striking cover, which puts Spider-Woman front and center flanked by Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine, and Luke Cage striding forward against a glowing blue backdrop. Written by Brian Michael Bendis with interior art by Steve McNiven, this 2005 issue kicks off "The Sentry" arc, promising that the mysterious, powerful figure suggested by the story's title is about to become very relevant to Earth's Mightiest Heroes. It's a confident, well-crafted lineup shot that sets an expectant, anything-could-happen tone for what lies ahead.
