Savage Avengers Annual #1

Three of Marvel's most dangerous characters stand amid smoldering wreckage in this 2019 annual — a bare-chested sorcerer crackling with supernatural lightning and bearing a glowing pentagram symbol grips a trident, while the long-haired, muscular barbarian Conan looms behind him, and Black Widow stands ready with a rifle at her side. Mike Deodato Jr.'s cover composition is striking, bathed in warm dusky light with a mysterious key floating above the trio, hinting at an unlikely and volatile alliance. Writer Gerry Duggan and artist Ron Garney bring their Savage Avengers sensibility to this oversized annual, making it a compelling pick for fans who like their team-ups a little rougher around the edges.
