Cataclysm: The Ultimates' Last Stand #5

The concluding chapter of Cataclysm: The Ultimates' Last Stand arrives with a cover that says everything through deliberate understatement — Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds, rendered small and almost adrift against a vast white void, surrounded by tumbling chunks of debris and what appears to be a tiny fallen hammer below him. Mark Bagley's pencils and John Dell's inks turn the cosmic threat on its head, framing the universe-sized menace as something suddenly, hauntingly diminished. With Brian Michael Bendis writing and Bagley on interior art as well, this 2014 finale to the Ultimate Universe's defining crisis promises a payoff worthy of its ominous title.
