Siege: Dark Avengers #[nn]

A battered, bloodied pile of dark figures lies strewn across the cover of this 2010 Marvel collection, capturing the brutal toll of the Siege event on Norman Osborn's team with visceral, ground-level intensity. Mike Deodato Jr. handles both pencils and inks, delivering grim, hyper-detailed linework that makes the carnage feel uncomfortably real against a muted urban skyline looming in the background. Collecting Brian Michael Bendis's Dark Avengers issues tied to Siege, this hardcover is a compelling document of a team pushed to its absolute limits.
