E-Man: The Early Years #[nn]

In "The Beginning," E-Man teams up with Nova and Mauser to investigate a string of mysterious disappearances at sea, leading them to a ghost galleon drifting above the water. As they follow the eerie vessel, they uncover an alien operation stripping Earth of its natural resources, forcing them to call in the U.S. Air Force to respond. Written by Nicola Cuti and illustrated with vivid detail by Joe Staton—whose dynamic art and inks define the issue’s tone—this early chapter captures the series’ blend of cosmic mystery and grounded action. The cover, also by Staton, perfectly frames the enigmatic galleon in a haunting, atmospheric scene.
