Children of the Atom #6

Rain-soaked tension radiates from this cover as one member of the young team strides forward in her purple-and-grey costume, cape billowing, while her four costumed teammates watch from the shadowy forest behind her — the mood is unmistakably one of fracture and distance within the group. Vita Ayala and Paco Medina's series has been a fresh, earnest take on what it means to be young and extraordinary in the Marvel Universe, and this sixth issue looks to dig deeper into the emotional fault lines running through the team. If you've been following along, the cover alone makes a compelling case that things are about to get a lot more complicated.
