“Heaven's Promise”

In "Heaven's Promise," Gambit races to the Vatican with Anielle, only to face a harrowing choice: save the corrupted soul of Katarina or protect the angelic Anielle from the demonic Stoker. Written by Terry Kavanagh and Howard Mackie, with moody, atmospheric art by Klaus Janson and bold inks by Bill Sienkiewicz, this pivotal issue blends spiritual stakes with personal sacrifice. The cover by Klaus Janson captures the tension perfectly—shadowed, solemn, and charged with unseen consequence.
