Alright we gotta another SIEGE teaser image from marvel which shows the Dark Avengers going toe to toe with Thor and from the image they seem to be winning. Which I'm pretty sure should not be happening. I mean think about it The Dark Avengers get dismantled by the X-Men (read Utopia for full story) and can best Thor who is a "GOD" well, thoughts?
No matter how improbable this may Simone Bianchi still crafts a stunning cover.
