Journey into Mystery #644

Part 5 of 6 in the "Everything Burns" crossover, this 2012 issue captures the urgency of the moment beautifully — Thor and a young Loki sprint forward against a backdrop of fire and chaos, leading a sprawling crowd of Asgardians, winged horses, and warriors fleeing what feels like world-ending catastrophe. Alan Davis and Mark Farmer deliver a cover that's sweeping in scope yet intimate in focus, with the two brothers sharing the foreground in a way that speaks volumes about their uneasy alliance. Written by Kieron Gillen and Matt Fraction with interior art by Carmine Di Giandomenico and colors by Chris Sotomayor, this penultimate chapter promises the kind of mythic tension that made this run so compelling.
