Cyclops #12

Chapter 10 of "The Black Vortex" crossover arrives in this 2015 installment of Cyclops, and Alexander Lozano's painted cover sets the stakes beautifully — a fiery, cosmically charged figure blazes between two looming combatants, their claws and optic-blast visor framing her like a storm waiting to break. The scorched, explosive atmosphere gives the whole image a sense of overwhelming cosmic power barely held in check. With John Layman writing and Javier Garrón on interior art, this is a chapter that earns its place at the heart of one of Marvel's most ambitious space-faring events of 2015.
