Savage Avengers #26

Two heavily cloaked figures clash in the ruins of a devastated cityscape on this striking 2022 cover — one wielding crackling golden energy at close range while the other absorbs a burst of icy blue force with a snarl of raw defiance. The tension radiating between them, set against a brooding purple-and-crimson sky, perfectly captures the brutal, no-holds-barred spirit Savage Avengers has delivered throughout its run. Writer Gerry Duggan and artist Patch Zircher bring that same intensity inside, with cover art by Valerio Giangiordano that makes issue #26 a genuinely hard one to put back on the shelf.
