Dark Web: X-Men #3

Phil Noto's cover for this 2023 Dark Web tie-in tells you everything you need to know with quiet, unsettling elegance: an enormous, impassive face — unmistakably Jean Grey, green-crowned and glowing with faint psychic energy — looms over two foreground figures, a regal red-haired woman in a spiked golden crown and dark costume and a helmeted man whose chest glows with a steady white light. Between them, a swirling pink-violet energy orb pulses at the center of the composition, suggesting a confrontation of considerable cosmic stakes. With Gerry Duggan writing and both Rod Reis and Noto sharing interior art duties, this concluding chapter of the Dark Web: X-Men miniseries promises the same moody, painterly atmosphere that has defined the series throughout.
