1872 #4

The finale of Marvel's Secret Wars tie-in 1872 arrives with a cover by Leonard Kirk that captures the raw urgency of its frontier setting: a warrior on horseback charges straight at the viewer, rifle raised, as the town of Timely burns in a wall of fire and smoke behind them — with a torn copy of The Timely Bulletin tumbling in the foreground. It's a striking image that distills the wild-west stakes Gerry Duggan, Nik Virella, and Lee Loughridge have been building across the series. If you've been following this reimagining of Marvel heroes through a 19th-century lens, this concluding issue looks every bit as fierce as the story deserves.
