Journey into Mystery #632

Part of Marvel's "Shattered Heroes" event, this 2012 issue of Journey into Mystery puts a young Loki front and center in his distinctive green-and-gold costume, his expression caught somewhere between wonder and unease. He leans over a stone vessel with flames licking from it, surrounded by swirling mists and an ethereal, otherworldly backdrop — a beautifully atmospheric image rendered by cover artist Stephanie Hans. With Kieron Gillen writing and Mitch and Bettie Breitweiser handling interior art and colors, this issue delivers the kind of mythic, quietly unsettling tone that made this run so memorable.
