Take a look at that cover.
That’s a BAD ASS cover.
In fact, if I had a Bad Ass cover of the month award, I would give it to this cover….So what is this the cover of?

The boom in “cosmic” series from Marvel is great, I’m eating it up with a big wooden salad spoon. IMHO Annihilation was the best mini series event from Marvel last year. The off-shoot series resulting from that event are maintaining the same level of high quality both in writing and artwork. I loved Nova and the Heralds, what I’ve seen of Starlord has me just as pumped up. Keith Giffen is the man!
