Excalibur #11

A young mutant in a pink X-Men uniform and flowing cape hurls herself through a churning vortex of fire and magical energy, bursting orbs of multicolored light streaking from her outstretched hands — it's a striking image of someone pushing through overwhelming forces. Mahmud Asrar's cover for this 2020 Marvel series captures the high-stakes feel perfectly, with the story title "Blood of the Changeling" promising something tangled in mystical heritage and consequence. Writer Tini Howard and artist Marcus To bring their blend of Arthurian magic and mutant drama to issue eleven, and this cover sets the tone beautifully.
