Jean Grey #2

David Yardin's cover for this 2017 Marvel series delivers a striking visual puzzle — literally. The teenage Jean Grey, in her classic yellow-and-black X-Men uniform, leans intently over a jigsaw puzzle whose assembled pieces reveal a blazing Phoenix image, while two other red-haired women and a pink-mohawked figure in dark glasses crowd in behind her with equal urgency. A small figure in a green-and-gold costume flies in the upper corner, adding one more layer of mystery to a cover that cleverly frames Jean's relationship with a fiery destiny she's still piecing together. With Dennis Hopeless writing and Victor Ibáñez on interior art, this is a series that's clearly thinking carefully about what it means to carry this particular legacy.
