War of Kings: Ascension #3

In "The End of All Things," the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance as Razor and Talon manipulate Blastaar into joining the Shi'Ar, while Chris reclaims the Darkhawk suit—only to discover it was a trap. With Lilandra Neremani dead and the Starjammers and Gladiator demanding retribution, the stakes have never been higher. Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, with dynamic art by Wellinton Alves and inks by Scott Hanna and Nelson Pereira, this 2009 Marvel issue delivers high-octane tension and shifting alliances. The cover by Brandon Peterson captures the chaos in bold, striking detail.
