Eternals #7

Part seven of Marvel's twelve-issue limited series finds Thena and Kro in serious trouble — the cover tagline says it all: they're trapped in "The City of No Escape." Bob Layton's cover captures the urgency perfectly, with a golden-armored Thena and a powerful, bare-chested Kro sprinting through a stone corridor while a horde of weapon-brandishing creatures — axes, maces, and spears flying — bears down on them from behind. It's a tense, kinetic image that makes the series' mid-point feel like a genuine turning point for these two unlikely allies.
