Generally speaking, any new comic book series featuring superheroes dealing with a violent and dark future gets compared to Frank Miller, Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley's legendary 1986 miniseries, Batman: The Dark Knight (best known as the tagline for the first issue of the series, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns), which was one of the most influential comic book works ever to use that plot setup. Well, Marvel's upcoming Avengers: Twilight miniseries is leaning directly into that comparison with a series of variant covers for the series paying explicit homage to the iconic lightning bolt cover of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, and they are even bringing Miller himself along for the ride!
