Generation Hope #14

Part of Marvel's Regenesis era, this 2012 installment of Generation Hope opens with a striking cover by Ibraim Roberson — a massive, steely-skinned figure looms at center, his powerful hands gripping two smaller figures by their heads as dark, tendril-like energy coils around them all. The raw menace radiating from that central figure, combined with the swirling green-tinged chaos surrounding him, sets a genuinely tense tone for whatever the young mutants of Hope's circle are up against. Writer James Asmus and artist Roberson make a compelling visual case that this team is facing something well beyond their comfort zone.
