Genis-Vell: Captain Marvel #5

A sprawling Mike McKone cover sets the stage for this finale-energy issue, with Genis-Vell draped across the lap of a skeletal, robed Death figure in a pose echoing classical sculpture — surrounded by a who's-who of Marvel heroes including Thor, the Thing, Daredevil, Wolverine, Miles Morales Spider-Man, Sam Wilson Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, and more crowding the frame. The sheer density of assembled characters suggests the stakes Genis-Vell is facing couldn't be higher. Peter David and Juanan Ramírez bring their run to this point with a cover that's genuinely hard to look away from.
