Avengers: Celestial Quest #8

The concluding chapter of Steve Englehart's eight-part cosmic saga arrives with a cover by Jorge Santamaría and Scott Hanna that pulls no punches: two figures — one dressed in flowing pink and radiating crackling energy spheres — stand entangled within a web of dark, branch-like tendrils against a deep black void, the luminous orb behind them suggesting forces far beyond the terrestrial. Titled "Death Itself!", this finale promises the kind of grand, universe-spanning stakes that only a Celestial Quest can deliver. It's a fittingly dramatic close to one of 2002's more ambitious Marvel miniseries.
