Generation M #2

Part of Marvel's 2006 Decimation event, this second issue of the five-part limited series captures the post-M-Day world through two striking visual contrasts: a confident young woman in a yellow trench coat levitates in the foreground, energy crackling from her glowing hands, while a solitary, slumped figure sits isolated in a harsh spotlight on a darkened city street below. The split composition — power versus vulnerability — makes the cover's emotional stakes immediately clear, with Stuart Immonen's linework giving both figures an affecting sense of weight. Paul Jenkins and Ramón Bachs continue what promises to be a deeply human exploration of a Marvel universe forever changed.
