Children of the Vault #1

Part of Marvel's 2023 "Fall of X" initiative, this first issue introduces readers to the Children of the Vault in striking fashion. The cover — signed by Paquette — presents a sleek, blue-skinned figure striding confidently at center while chaos erupts around her: a flaming-skulled combatant blazes on the right, a struggling X-Man grapples with a tentacled threat in the background, and two more figures lie battered at her feet in a lush, overgrown environment. It's a vivid, assured opening image that makes clear these antagonists mean serious business.
