Balder the Brave #4

The concluding chapter of Marvel's four-issue limited series goes out with a burst of raw power, and Walt Simonson's cover says it all — Balder, shirtless and straining with arms raised, unleashes a blinding surge of energy while two massive armored figures loom over him on either side, the whole composition blazing in red and gold beneath the word "SUNRISE!" Writer Walter Simonson and artist Sal Buscema bring the Asgardian warrior's solo spotlight to a close with a story titled "Balder the Beautiful!" — a title that hints at something more than just brute heroics. If you've been following this series, issue #4 is the payoff you've been waiting for.
