Doom Slayer vs. Mortarion: The Reckoning Unleashed
The Battle Ignites
In this explosive panel from the comic If Doom Slayer joins the Imperium of Man, we witness a jaw-dropping confrontation between the Doom Slayer and Mortarion, the Daemon Primarch of the Death Guard. The scene is captured in stark black and white with bold, razor-edged linework, emphasizing chaos and fury. On the left, Doom Slayer charges into the fray with fearless resolve, framed by roaring tanks, Space Marines, and a massive capital ship crashing down in the background. Across from him, Mortarion rises like a monstrous shadow, wings flaring, scythe in hand, wreathed in rot and necrotic energy. The battlefield is hellish—ripped open by arcane forces and chaos portals, churning with flames and warped debris. It’s a visual clash of unrelenting rage and corrupted might, a collision of two apex predators.
Mortarion, the Reaper of Souls
Mortarion, the grim, plague-sworn giant looming on the right, is rendered with a terrifying majesty. His skeletal wings and corrupted armor flare outward as though reality itself recoils from his presence. Born a loyal son of the Emperor, Mortarion fell to Nurgle during the Horus Heresy, becoming the embodiment of decay and despair. In this image, he commands pestilent winds and dark energies, ripping through the fabric of space. His scythe, Silence, is mid-swing, its arc clashing against Doom Slayer’s advance with cataclysmic force. The artwork captures Mortarion not just as a villain, but as a vast, overwhelming force of entropy.
Doom Slayer: The Relentless Purger
At the center of the blast zone stands the Doom Slayer, unyielding and utterly focused, his figure sharp against the crumbling madness around him. There’s no hesitation in his stance—he is the wrath of humanity given flesh, charging directly at a creature most mortals would flee from in horror. His presence splits the image with raw kinetic force, drawing the viewer’s eye like a thunderbolt through a storm. Behind him, the Imperium’s might surges: tanks fire, ships descend, and Space Marines push forward. The text above the panel, “Rip and tear, until it is done,” reinforces the Slayer’s eternal warpath. This scene isn’t just a fight—it’s a reckoning.
