Ultimates #4

Five heroes — Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Blue Marvel, America Chavez, and a flame-wreathed figure — converge against a massive, grotesque creature whose serpentine limbs and enormous clawed body dominate Kenneth Rocafort's striking cover for Ultimates #4. The sheer scale of the beast dwarfs the team, making their united charge feel both urgent and daring. Al Ewing's 2016 series was already earning praise as "Marvel's premier Avengers comic," and this issue looks every bit the part.
