Exiles #39

The second chapter of the "King Hyperion" arc arrives in this 2004 Marvel series, and the cover by Mizuki Sakakibara sets a quietly tense mood — a red-haired woman in a blue-and-yellow costume crouches thoughtfully among tangled vines and foliage, while the towering steel-skinned form of Colossus looms large behind her. The contrast between her guarded, contemplative expression and his imposing metallic presence hints at uneasy alliances across alternate realities. With Chuck Austen writing and Jim Calafiore on interior art, Exiles continues to deliver the kind of dimension-hopping drama that kept readers eagerly turning pages.
