Ultimate Avengers #11

A brooding, larger-than-life figure dominates the upper half of this 2010 cover — blond, intense, and radiating quiet menace — while a squad of Avengers charges forward below: a Captain America-styled figure in blue, a heavily built brawler, a dark-haired agent, a gun-wielding marksman in purple, and an armored combatant with a glowing weapon at the ready. Leinil Francis Yu and Gerry Alanguilan bring real dynamism to the composition, balancing that looming presence above against the urgent momentum of the team below. "Crime and Punishment Part 5 of 6" promises a story building toward its climax, and this penultimate chapter cover makes a strong case that things are about to get complicated for everyone involved.
