Avengers: Earth's Mugging-est Heroes

Anachronistic puff-piece factory Entertainment Weekly has a bunch of set photos from "The Avengers" this issue, which is reason enough to make it a "cover story" in order to snare wayward fans digging from scraps of information.

Less excusable? The absolutely horrible cover, clearly fitted-together from unrelated images (everyone's eyeline is off) and demonstrative of Marvel not having a finished look at The Hulk ready for distribution yet - otherwise why would they have used that ghastly shot of Mark Ruffalo giving a duckface?
