The Avengers #374

The cover of this May 1994 issue of Avengers sets an intriguing, dramatic tone: the Scarlet Witch stands at center, a glowing hex sphere swirling in her hand, while a dark-caped male figure looms behind her against a burst of fiery energy — and the tagline "The Truth… Revealed!" promises that something significant is about to surface. Steve Epting's pencils and Tom Palmer's inks give the figures a confident, polished weight that was very much the look of mid-'90s Marvel at its best. "Intersecting Parallels" sounds like exactly the kind of layered, tension-filled chapter that keeps readers turning pages.
