Mutant 2099 #1

Part of Marvel's Marvel Knights 2099 initiative, this 2004 one-shot from writer Robert Kirkman plunges readers into a gritty future cityscape where mutantkind's story is far from over. Pat Lee's cover art for Dreamwave Productions delivers an armored, red-haired figure in a sleek dark suit and goggled mask, lunging toward the viewer through the towering corridors of a dystopian megalopolis. It's a kinetic, visually confident introduction to a corner of the Marvel universe that feels both familiar and fascinatingly reinvented.
