The Mighty Thor #16

The cover of The Mighty Thor #16 is a striking piece of work by Walter Simonson — a swarm of pale, tentacled creatures with glowing eyes and gaping jaws bearing down on a fallen Thor, whose winged helmet and golden hair are just barely visible beneath their grasping limbs. It's an image that radiates dread and scale, suggesting the Asgardian is up against something genuinely overwhelming. Inside, writer Matt Fraction and artist Pepe Larraz continue the series, with Frank D'Armata's colors rounding out the creative team on this 2012 Marvel chapter.
