【Submission Season 1 Episode 1 (2016)】

There are Submission Season 1 Episode 1 (2016)so manyAvengers in Avengers: Infinity War, you guys. More than could possibly fit on one magazine cover! Which is why Empirereleased six (plus a bonus subscriber cover).

As with the Entertainment Weeklycover, part of the fun is seeing Marvel play mix-and-match. We can only imagine what Shuri will make of Iron Man, or what Gamora and Hulk could possibly have to talk about.

But if you ask us, not all combinations are created equal – which is why we've ranked the covers in order of least to most impressive.

8. Hawkeye and Ant-Man (no cover)

Seriously, did the Avengers lose their numbers?

7. Thanos (newsstand edition)

Oh, this guy again. Does Thanos even doanything besides glower menacingly while holding up his one glove? And with only two Infinity Stones! Out of six! After a dozen movies over six years! You'll excuse me if I'm not overly impressed.

6. Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, Drax, and Okoye

This cover ranks low because I'm offended on behalf of Okoye and Drax that they're being overshadowed by Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch. YMMV depending on how you feel about these characters, I guess.

5. Star-Lord, Gamora, Spider-Man, Hulk, and Falcon

Sure, okay. But this seems an oddly frowny cover, considering that it features two of the most lighthearted MCU heroes, Star-Lord and Spider-Man. (On the other hand, I would loveto hear Gamora and Hulk vent to each other about how it's not easy being green.)

4. Thor, Rocket, Groot, Mantis, and Vision

Ditto this one, actually, but we're just excited to see the newly hilarious Thor chilling with the Guardians. Plus, word is Thor's the hero who gets the most screen time, so this might secretly be the most important cover of all.

3. Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, and Shuri

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Wow, this one's just a collection of top-tier fan favorites: The two halves of the Civil War, plus the whiz kid who can out-genius Iron Man and the spy who stole Captain America: The Winter Solderright out from under Captain America himself.

2. Black Panther, Bucky, Nebula, and War Machine

Not sure what's up with Rhodey's awkward placement in the back there (it kinda looks like they forgot to call him up for the group photo, and just copy-pasted him in at the last minute), but it's tough to argue with the sheer amount of badassery on display here.

Look at Black Panther's take-no-shit stance and Nebula's confident swagger – this is nota group to be messed with. And wow, we don't know what Bucky's been doing down in Wakanda, but it's definitely doing wonders for his hair.

1. Thanos (subscriber edition)

Well done, Thanos: You came in last, but you alsocame in first thanks to this cool, artsy portrait imagining you with all six Infinity Stones in hand. This image might actually be the most excited I've been about you, and that's something.
