2099: World of Tomorrow #8

The final issue of Marvel's ambitious 2099: World of Tomorrow sends off the entire line with a cover that says it all — a cracked, shattered suit of futuristic armor fragmenting against a blazing yellow void, accompanied by the blunt promise: "To All Things... An Ending!" Cover pencils by David Brewer and inks by Rob Hunter give the image a raw, kinetic energy, with the fractured armor pieces radiating outward like the 2099 universe itself coming apart at the seams. It's a fittingly dramatic close to Marvel's vision of tomorrow, with Ben Raab, Joe Kelly, and a full creative team delivering the concluding chapter, "The Quiet Earth," in April 1997.
