The Last Defenders #4

The penultimate chapter of Marvel's 2008 limited series arrives with a cover that doesn't hold back — a massive golden fist comes crashing down toward a red-and-blue-costumed hero sprawled amid a field of twisted rubble, two robotic figures flanking him on either side. Phil Jimenez and Andy Lanning frame the moment with a real sense of crushing weight, making the threat feel visceral and immediate. With Joe Casey writing and Jim Muniz on interior art, The Last Defenders #4 promises high stakes as this six-issue run heads toward its conclusion.
