Thors #2

Part of Marvel's 2015 Secret Wars event, Thors #2 reimagines the God of Thunder's world as a Battleworld police procedural — and this cover leans hard into that premise. Chris Sprouse and Karl Story frame a grim crime scene: a broad-shouldered Thor crouches over a chalk body outline surrounded by scattered hammers and bloodstains, while a winged, silver-haired Thor looks on with cool intensity from behind the yellow "CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS" tape. Jason Aaron's storytelling instincts shine through even before you open the cover — when your homicide detectives all wield Mjolnir, the mystery has nowhere to go but somewhere extraordinary.
