Mutopia X #4

The penultimate chapter of this 2005 Marvel limited series set within the House of M carries one of the most quietly striking covers of the event — a young girl in a white dress, pearl necklace, and curling auburn hair, arms outstretched as she soars through a swirling purple and amber haze, a massive shadowed figure looming behind her. Cover artist Andy Park brings a sense of wonder and unease to the image in equal measure, the girl's wide-open expression hovering somewhere between joy and alarm. With Hine, Medina, and Sicat delivering the interior work, Mutopia X continues to offer a ground-level perspective on mutantkind's transformed world.
