Hasbro / Secret Wars #4

In "Situation: Hopeless!", the tide turns violently as the villains overpower the heroes, dismantle their base, and turn the battlefield into a landscape of ruin. With Thor and the Enchantress returning to a shattered front, the X-Men form an uneasy alliance with Magneto while the Wasp seizes a fleeting chance to break free. As Torch and Captain Marvel channel their powers through Iron Man to blast through a mountain range, they find refuge in a hidden alien village—where a mysterious woman tends to their wounds, unaware that Galactus watches from above. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Bob Layton, with inks by John Beatty, colors by Christie Scheele, and letters by Joe Rosen, the cover by Bob Layton captures the moment of desperate hope beneath the shadow of cosmic scale.
