New Mutants #43

The fifth and final chapter of "Exiled" arrives here, closing out the crossover between New Mutants and Journey Into Mystery with what promises to be a dramatic finish. Stephanie Hans's cover sets a striking tone: a figure in Norse-style golden armor stands with arms raised as swirling energy emanates outward, while three pale, ghoulish beings loom behind a veiled, red-crowned form in the background — and two companions flank the armored figure on either side, looking tense and wary. It's a visually atmospheric piece that captures a sense of mythic confrontation perfectly suited to the Asgardian themes running through this 2012 crossover event.
