Cataclysm: Ultimate X-Men #1

The Devourer of Worlds looms over this 2014 tie-in to Marvel's Cataclysm crossover event — Galactus's colossal, mechanized visage fills the entire cover in stunning purple and violet tones, rendered with extraordinary detail by cover artist Mariusz Siergiejew. The image alone communicates the scale of the threat facing the Ultimate Universe's mutants, as that massive helmeted face radiates an almost hypnotic cosmic dread. Writer Josh Fialkov, artist Álvaro Martínez, inker John Lucas, and colorist Jordie Bellaire bring their combined talents to what promises to be a gripping chapter in the X-Men's darkest hour.
