The Mighty Avengers #14

Part of Marvel's sweeping 2008 Secret Invasion crossover event, this issue of The Mighty Avengers sports a striking cover by Marko Djurdjević that commands immediate attention. A towering crimson-caped figure with a scarred, alien visage looms over a swirling purple-white mist, while several smaller red-suited figures sprawl and reach helplessly at his feet — the sense of overwhelming, effortless power radiating from the composition is genuinely unsettling. Inside, Brian Michael Bendis scripts with Khoi Pham on art and Dean White's atmospheric colors tying the whole package together.
