Uncanny Avengers #21

The Unity Squad looks absolutely outmatched on Daniel Acuña's cover for this 2014 Marvel NOW! issue — Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Cyclops, and a flame-trailing Human Torch are all scrambling across the massive stone fist of a towering adversary, while a golden-armored figure tumbles helplessly in the foreground. Part four of "Avenge the Earth" promises the kind of all-hands-on-deck stakes that make Rick Remender's run so compelling, and Acuña's warm, painterly colors — all amber fire and crackling electricity — give the chaos a genuinely cinematic weight.
