Conquest 2099 #2

The second chapter of Conquest 2099 arrives with a cover by Leinil Francis Yu that commands attention — a towering, armored figure dominates the composition, glowing blue eyes blazing beneath a star-crested helmet and massive clawed hands flanking the frame, while two smaller but fierce combatants — one firing optic blasts, another wielding blades and bearing an X-Men emblem — stand ready in the foreground. The scale and tension of that image set a fittingly epic tone for "Utopia Grieved," a story title that promises both grandeur and consequence in Marvel's far-future 2099 setting. With Steve Orlando scripting and a strong art team including Ibraim Roberson and José Luís bringing the interior to life, this 2024 series continues to make a strong case for the 2099 universe as fertile ground for bold storytelling.
