Inhumans #2

Part of Marvel Knights' late-1998 prestige reimagining of the Inhumans, this second issue carries the evocative chapter title "Genotypical" and continues Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee's atmospheric take on Attilan's royal race. Jae Lee's cover is immediately arresting: a lone female figure, seen from behind and radiating crackling blue-white energy, stands at the center of a massive, crumbling stone-and-metal circular gateway as debris explodes outward around her, her glowing eyes hinting at barely contained power. The sheer sense of scale and quiet menace Lee brings to the image makes this a compelling entry point into what promises to be a story about identity, inheritance, and what it means to be something beyond human.
