Contest of Champions #7

The cover by Paco Medina throws you straight into the action as the Ultimates — Captain Marvel, Black Panther, America Chavez, Monica Rambeau, and a hulking armored figure wielding Captain America's shield — clash in a swirling pink and lavender arena. "New Challengers Approaching!" says it all: Marvel's heavy-hitting team is entering the Contest, and the banner promising "Ultimate Fighting Starts Now!" makes this feel like a genuine turning point for the series. Al Ewing and artist Rhoald Marcellius bring their talents to bear on a title that keeps raising the stakes with every arc.
