Ultimate Avengers #13

Blade takes center stage on Leinil Francis Yu's cover for this 2010 Marvel series opener, the vampire hunter striding forward with dual blades drawn while a squad of Ultimate Avengers — including a golden-armored figure and two gun-wielding teammates — surge into action behind him. The title "Blade versus the Avengers" sets up a thrillingly tense premise, pitting one of Marvel's most formidable monster hunters against the very team he might otherwise call allies. With Mark Millar writing and Steve Dillon on interior art, this six-part arc promises the kind of sharp, kinetic storytelling that keeps readers coming back for more.
