Inhumanity: The Awakening #1

Part of Marvel's 2014 Inhumanity event, this one-shot draws you in immediately with Jorge Molina's striking cover: a glowing Terrigen cocoon cracks open at center, a luminous hand reaching out from within, while four costumed figures — including a winged hero and a woman crackling with electric energy — look on with palpable tension. The atmosphere of bioluminescent pods and eerie cavern light gives the whole image a genuinely otherworldly mood. Writer Matt Kindt and artist Paul Davidson bring their talents to a story rooted in transformation and the charged moment when something — or someone — is about to change forever.
