Ultraforce / Avengers #1

Two of comics' mightiest super-teams collide across a star-filled cosmic backdrop in this 1995 Malibu/Marvel crossover event — Part V of the "Countdown to Black September" saga, with a story titled "Becoming More Like God." George Pérez's cover art (pencils and inks) packs the image with muscle and energy: a caped powerhouse charges forward with a burst of light at his fist, Thor swings Mjolnir overhead, a winged hero fires pink energy blasts in the foreground, Captain America's shield curves through the chaos, and a dark, avian figure looms to the right amid a swirling purple cosmos. With Warren Ellis writing and a sprawling creative team bringing it all to life, this one-shot stands as a genuine meeting of two publishing universes rendered with Pérez's characteristically dense, dynamic composition.
