Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates #5

Part five of six in the "Death of Spider-Man" crossover, and the tension running through this 2011 Marvel series has never felt more visceral. Leinil Francis Yu's cover art crackles with urgency — a heavily armed squad that includes Nick Fury, a fierce blonde woman in black tactical gear, and several other combat-ready figures press forward with weapons raised, while an imposing armored figure looms ominously behind them. With only one chapter remaining after this, the Avengers vs. New Ultimates showdown is heading toward a collision that the cover's coiled, aggressive energy makes hard to look away from.
