Uncanny Avengers #8AU

Three imposing figures dominate Jim Cheung and Mark Morales's striking cover: a towering, armored Kang the Conqueror stands at center wielding a massive futuristic weapon, flanked by two figures in elaborate horned helmets and flowing purple robes — the Apocalypse Twins — against a backdrop of rubble and devastation. This Age of Ultron tie-in issue brings writers Rick Remender and Gerry Duggan together with artist Adam Kubert for the fourth chapter of "The Apocalypse Twins" arc, promising a story operating at an epic, timeline-spanning scale. If you've been following this team book's ambitious first year, this issue looks like a genuinely thrilling escalation.
