Amos’s Tip

When you move a Bronze Age team book like this, play up the chaos and the clash. Collectors love when the cover gives them that “what the hell led to THIS?” energy. Hulk squared up. Valkyrie mid-swing. Hellcat, Nighthawk, Doctor Strange… all pointed at their own teammates. That’s drama. That’s tension. That’s the hook. Let the buyer feel like they’re about to watch the whole squad implode.
