Genis-Vell: Captain Marvel #4

The split-image cover by Mike McKone captures the tension at the heart of this series perfectly: Genis-Vell is literally divided between his civilian half and his cosmic Captain Marvel identity, the star-burst emblem on his chest glowing as both sides of his face lurch forward with a fierce, unsettled energy. Peter David — the writer who defined this character once before — returns alongside artist Juanan Ramírez and colorist Federico Blee to dig into what it means to carry that mantle. Issue four of this 2022 limited series promises the kind of identity-driven drama that makes Genis-Vell one of Marvel's most compelling cosmic figures.
