The Secret Defenders #24

The cover of this February 1995 issue says it all: the Secret Defenders are squaring off against the original Defenders in a full-on clash, with a raging Hulk dominating the right side, the Silver Surfer blazing energy at center, Namor brandishing his trident at left, and a monstrous figure absorbing the brunt of the assault in the foreground. Bill Wylie's pencils and Michael Bair's inks give the collision a raw, kinetic energy that makes the stakes feel genuinely massive. "Final Defense, Part 3: Eleventh Hour" promises that Tom Brevoort, Mike Kanterovich, and the creative team are bringing this arc to a head in a way that fans of both teams won't want to miss.
