Inhumans #4

The royal family of Attilan assembles in force on Jae Lee's striking cover for this Marvel Knights chapter of "Chinese Whispers." Black Bolt stands at the center, armed and intense in his signature black-and-silver costume, flanked by Medusa's flowing red hair and weapon at the ready, the massive Gorgon flexing behind them, the green-skinned Triton and a scarred figure to the left, a blonde woman with a pistol to the right, and the great dog Lockjaw crouching loyally at the fore. Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee's celebrated 1999 reimagining of the Inhumans carries real weight here — this is a team portrait that feels less like a heroic pose and more like a reckoning.
