“Book V: Terror in the Skies!”

This fifth installment of The Marvel Saga continues its ambitious retelling of Marvel Universe history, spotlighting the origins of Angel and Iceman — both prominently featured on the cover, with Angel soaring past a city building and Iceman unleashing his powers on the street below. A third panel teases Loki's origin and his early clashes with Thor, rendered in dramatic fashion with the Asgardian trickster looming large. Cover art by Paul Ryan and Brett Breeding gives the whole package a crisp, energetic look that does justice to the wealth of Marvel lore packed inside.
