“[Avengers / Defenders War] Chapter 4: Divide... and Conquer”

Iron Man has Hawkeye pinned to the rubble-strewn ground, demanding payback for his former Avengers ally's betrayal — but as the cover banner warns, "Hawkeye's got friends!" Charging in to back him up are the Hulk, Namor, and Doctor Strange, making it abundantly clear that taking on one Defender means taking on all of them. Sal Buscema's dynamic cover for this 1973 chapter of the Avengers/Defenders War captures the sheer thrill of two Marvel powerhouse teams in full collision.
