Basilisk #12

The cover of Basilisk #12 from BOOM! Studios is a striking composition by Jonas Scharf, showing a lone figure — her back to us, a glowing eye symbol emblazoned on her coat — standing before a blinding portal while swirling tendrils of multicolored energy (red, yellow, green, and violet) curl and writhe around her like living things. The dark, cave-like surroundings frame the blazing light ahead, giving the whole image a sense of threshold and tension. Cullen Bunn's dark superhuman saga reaches its twelfth chapter here, with Alex Guimarães's vivid colors making this one of the most visually arresting covers of the series' run.
