Uncanny Avengers #11

A dramatic pile of fallen heroes and villains dominates the foreground of Ryan Stegman's cover for this 2016 installment of Uncanny Avengers, setting a grim tone as two armored figures clash in an electrifying mid-air duel above the rubble. The sheer scale of the carnage spread across that wreckage — bodies in familiar costumes crumpled among broken stone — makes it clear that writer Gerry Duggan and artist Pepe Larraz are pushing the Unity Squad to its limits. With David Curiel's smoldering amber palette lending everything an almost hellish glow, issue #11 looks like a turning point you won't want to skip.
