Heralds #5

The final chapter of Marvel's 2012 limited series arrives with a striking cover by Jelena Djurdjevic: a young red-haired woman in casual clothes stands her ground as a massive, flame-wreathed cosmic figure looms behind her, enormous glowing hands reaching forward on either side of her. The contrast between the ordinary and the overwhelming gives the image a quiet defiance that feels earned rather than manufactured. Kathryn Immonen's "Sister of Mine, Home Again" promises a fitting close to this all-female Marvel ensemble adventure.
