Civil War II: Ulysses #1

Tied directly to Marvel's 2016 Civil War II event, this oversized issue digs into the enigma at the heart of the conflict: the Inhuman prophet Ulysses. The cover, fully rendered by Francesco Francavilla, is a moody, atmospheric composition — a young man in the foreground shadowed by a masked, hollow-eyed figure, both engulfed by the cascading fiery-red hair of a luminous woman looming above, the whole image radiating an eerie sense of fate pressing down from all directions. Francavilla's earthy, shadowed palette gives the piece a psychological weight that perfectly captures the unsettling question driving the entire event.
