New Avengers: The Reunion #[nn]

Two familiar figures dominate Jo Chen's striking split-panel cover — a red-clad hero and a sword-wielding ninja facing off in dynamic poses that practically crackle with tension. This 2010 Marvel collection, subtitled The Reunion, promises exactly what the title suggests: a charged encounter between characters whose shared history runs deep. With McCann and Lopez bringing the story and Jo Chen delivering a beautifully rendered cover, this trade paperback makes a compelling case for itself before you even crack the spine.
