Fear Itself #7

The grand finale of Marvel's 2011 event series arrives with Fear Itself Book Seven, written by Matt Fraction with interior art by Stuart Immonen, Wade von Grawbadger, and Laura Martin. Steve McNiven and Mark Morales deliver a striking cover split into two tense confrontations: at the top, a red-faced armored warrior wielding a massive staff clashes head-on with Captain America, both gripping the weapon in a fierce struggle; below the title, a small but resolute armored figure — sword raised — faces down an enormous, fanged serpent coiling in from the shadows. It's a fitting send-off image for a series built around impossible odds, and this seventh and final chapter promises the kind of culminating tension that "Thor's Day" suggests in its very title.
