Cyclops #8

This issue of Marvel's solo Cyclops series brings a moody, intimate tension to its cover, painted by Alexander Lozano with a rich deep-blue palette that feels both cosmic and claustrophobic. Cyclops looms in close profile, his red visor glowing, while a silver-skinned alien woman faces him with an unsettling calm — an intricate mechanical creature clinging to her cheek — as an armored, white-bearded figure watches from the background. Writer John Layman and artist Javier Garrón keep the space-faring adventures of the young X-Man going strong in 2015, and this striking cover promises a story layered with alien intrigue and uneasy alliances.
