2099: World of Tomorrow #2

The second "Spectacular Issue" of 2099: World of Tomorrow arrives in October 1996 with a cover that crackles with tension — a dark-haired woman in a purple and black outfit thrusts her glowing green fist toward a massive, alien-looking organic creature looming above her, the whole scene bathed in searing yellow energy. The tagline "Buried Alive!!" sets an urgent tone that perfectly matches the desperate, defiant posture of the figure at the center of Pascual Ferry's cover, inked by Art Thibert and Jaime Mendoza. With Ben Raab and Joe Kelly co-writing the "Homecoming" story inside, this is a strong showcase for Marvel's vision of a turbulent future.
