Thor #8

In this pivotal issue of Thor, the Asgardians make a desperate bid to flee Hel as Hela's forces close in, with the Executioner making the ultimate sacrifice to ensure their escape. Written, drawn, and inked by Walter Simonson—his legendary run on the series reaching a gripping peak—this story pulses with mythic urgency, all rendered in bold, dynamic art with color by Max Scheele. The cover, also by Simonson, captures the moment’s weight in stark, powerful lines.
