U.S.Avengers #11 — David Nakayama Cover (2017) | Cannonball Run Part 1

U.S.Avengers #11 is a Marvel Legacy-era issue featuring the first chapter of “Cannonball Run.” The cover by David Nakayama uses a playful Archie-style Americana aesthetic, contrasting illustrated diner characters with a more realistic central figure wearing a black leather jacket, goggles, red pants and tall black boots.

The scene takes place inside a brightly colored retro diner, complete with jukeboxes, checkerboard décor, milkshakes, burgers and dancing patrons. The central character stands between the cartoon-style diners while holding a mysterious glove-like object, creating a humorous contrast between the realistic and comic-strip portions of the artwork. The cover also features the headline “America’s Funniest Fighters!”, the Marvel Legacy banner, and “Cannonball Run Part 1.”

The story follows the U.S. Avengers as they search for their missing teammate Cannonball, leading them into outer space and ultimately to the strange world of Glenbrook, U.S.A. The issue was written by Al Ewing, with interior art by Paco Diaz and colors by Jesus Aburtov.
