Ragnarök: The Breaking of Helheim #1

Walter Simonson returns to his Norse mythology saga with this opening chapter of The Breaking of Helheim, and the cover sets the stakes immediately. A battle-worn warrior in ornate armor strides forward gripping a massive spear, flanked by a winged-helmeted valkyrie bearing her own spear and hammer, while a vast demonic face looms in the fiery sky above them and ranks of soldiers clash across the smoldering foreground. It's a richly layered image — colored with molten intensity by Laura Martin — that makes a compelling case for diving headlong into whatever awaits inside Helheim's gates.
