The Hero Complex blog over at the L.A. Times is showing off several promotional images for Marvel’s Dark Reign storyline, featuring various heroes enduring the agony of defeat or their villainous counterparts at the height of victory, depending on how you want to look at it. Other featured characters include Emma Frost crushing Cyclops’ visor, Loki cradling Thor’s limp body, Captain America bowing before the Iron Patriot and, of course, the Green Goblin, whose tagline is twisted just a bit to let you know he’s the winner.
