In "The Music of the Spheres, Part 1: Aphelion," Jean Loring is left reeling after her clash with Mary Marvel, severed from the Eclipso entity that once defined her. Now, the dark force seeks a new host—and finds one in a familiar form: Bruce Gordon. Written by Matthew Sturges and illustrated by Stephen Jorge Segovia, with colors by Dan Brown and letters by swands, this pivotal issue sets a haunting tone as the entity's next move unfolds. The cover, by Mario Alberti, captures the tension in stark, striking detail.
