Inhumans #5

Part of Marvel Knights' acclaimed 1999 Inhumans series, this fifth issue presents a striking cover by Jae Lee showing Black Bolt — his tuning-fork antenna crackling with energy — cradling a dark-haired figure in his arms, both figures engulfed by a wall of roaring flame. The composition is intense and intimate, Jae Lee's distinctive art rendering the scene in deep blues and burning oranges that feel both tender and catastrophic. With Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee collaborating on "First Contact," this issue promises the same brooding emotional weight the series has delivered from the start.
