Original Sin #5.4

Thor hangs suspended in chains against a stone wall — battered, bound, and at the mercy of the Tenth Realm — while two figures stand before him: a winged, armored warrior woman and a younger figure in Loki's distinctive horned helm, their body language suggesting a tense standoff rather than a rescue. Simone Bianchi's cover art brings a rich, painterly weight to this penultimate chapter of the five-part "Thor & Loki: The Tenth Realm" crossover, written by Jason Aaron and Al Ewing. It's a striking image that captures just how precarious things have become for the God of Thunder with one issue still to go.
