The Mighty Thor #10

Part of Marvel's 2012 "Shattered Heroes" banner, The Mighty Thor #10 finds the Thunder God — caped, helmed, and sword in hand — locked in a crackling clash of lightning and cosmic energy against a hulking armored adversary, all set against the brooding backdrop of a darkened planet. The cover by Pascual Ferry channels real kinetic tension into that swirling arc of blue-white electricity connecting the two warriors mid-battle. With Matt Fraction scripting, Pepe Larraz on art, and Frank D'Armata's vivid colors, "The Mighty Tanarus 3: Doomed" promises a chapter that lives up to its ominous title.
