ENTER THE PHOENIX: THE FIERY FINALE!
As the greatest heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe are trapped within the battle to decide the all-new Phoenix – a bloody battle that has narrowed to a handful of desperate combatants. Thor leads the rest of the Avengers in the fight to contain the Phoenix Force on Earth, in a quest complicated by the Thunder God's own mysterious connection to the cosmic firebird. 32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

And just who is the person with the tied back hair, with a little that has made itself loose? We may run the numbers on that one later as well. No voting on this one, however.
