Thor: God of Thunder #3

From Jason Aaron and Esad Ribić's acclaimed 2013 run, this third chapter of "The God Butcher" delivers a cover that speaks volumes: a battle-worn Thor, red cape billowing, hurls Mjolnir skyward while surrounded on all sides by looming, shadowy monstrous figures pressing in from every direction. Ribić's painted linework — colored beautifully by Ive Svorcina — gives the scene a brooding, almost mythological weight, with Thor's determined expression suggesting he's outnumbered but far from finished. If this cover is any indication, "The Hall of the Lost" promises the Thunder God facing overwhelming odds in a story that earns its five-part epic structure.
