Two comic panels from Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's Young Avengers. In the first panel Chavez looks back at the reader. In the second, she and another character exit through one of her star-shaped portals. Dialogue reads: But it's the end of a year. Start of a new one. And we're alive.

Silversun Pickups
The top two thirds of the photo show a theater stage with red light beaming down onto the band in columns while two large stacks of speakers hang down on either side. Small dots of light are suspended in the air and there is a little purple glow from the left side bleeding into the sea of red. The bottom third is a dark mass of heads all facing the stage.
