Marvel Boy #1

Marvel Knights launched this 2000 series with serious ambition, placing Marvel Boy front and center in a striking J. G. Jones cover — white-haired and armored with golden Kree wristbands crackling with energy as he thrusts a flaming gauntlet forward into the reader's space. Flanking him are four companions: a red-haired woman in green, a stoic blond man, a woman with flame for hair in blue-and-gold armor, and a mysterious cloaked figure lurking in the background. Grant Morrison's "Hello Cruel World" promises exactly the kind of sci-fi charge this cover delivers — bold, electric, and just a little dangerous.
