Dark X-Men: The Beginning #2

Part of Marvel's 2009 Utopia crossover event, this second installment of the three-issue Dark X-Men: The Beginning series spotlights a story centered on Cloak and Dagger. Jae Lee's cover is a masterpiece of atmosphere — a luminous, pale figure floats above a dark, winged beast while a cloaked silhouette stands apart, accompanied by a lone raven, all rendered in Lee's signature moody, painterly style. Writer Rob Williams and artist Paco Diaz bring the tension of Norman Osborn's shadow world to bear on two heroes caught between light and darkness.
