Inhumans #4

The four-part limited series reaches its conclusion with "The Darkest Hour," and José Ladrönn's painted cover makes the weight of that moment feel immediate — Black Bolt's massive, helmeted visage fills the frame, his expression grave and unyielding against a backdrop of stars and intricate mechanical forms. It's a striking, close-up portrait that radiates quiet authority and the sense of a ruler carrying an impossible burden. Carlos Pacheco and Rafael Marin's 2000 miniseries wraps up here with art by Jorge Pereira Lucas, and this final chapter promises a fittingly epic send-off for Marvel's enigmatic royal family.
