Ultimate Avengers #2

Part two of Mark Millar's six-part "The Next Generation" arrives with a cover by Carlos Pacheco and Danny Miki that crackles with kinetic energy — Captain America looms large, shield raised and rifle in hand, while a masked, blond-haired gunman in tactical gear presses forward alongside him. The pairing of these two armed figures against that vivid green background gives the image a charged, confrontational feel that sets the tone nicely for this Ultimate universe take on Marvel's premier team.
