“Le présent d'Héla”

"Le présent d'Héla" marks a pivotal moment in Thor's mythos, with Walt Simonson’s sharp storytelling and Sal Buscema’s dynamic art bringing a raw, visceral edge to the tale. As Thor battles the Marauders and faces Hela’s curse, the weight of loss and resurrection hangs heavy—especially when Balder reawakens Odin’s second Raven. The cover, a striking collaboration by Simonson and Romita, captures the storm of conflict and sacrifice.
