Journey into Mystery #641

A young dark-haired woman perches atop an enormous, ancient hand of stone, cradling a glowing chalice as droplets fall from its rim — it's a quietly haunting image that sets a melancholy, otherworldly tone for this 2012 chapter of Journey into Mystery. Stephanie Hans's cover painting is rich with warm, shimmering light playing against the massive rocky form, giving the scene a fairy-tale weight that feels both intimate and vast. With Kieron Gillen writing and Richard Elson on interior art, this issue promises the same blend of myth and emotion that makes this run so compelling.
