Mystique #17

Mike Mayhew's cover for this fourth chapter of "Unnatural" is a striking composition — Mystique's blue-skinned, yellow-eyed face dominates the foreground in sleek black leather, calm and almost serene, while a camouflaged figure with binoculars lurks in a lush jungle behind her, completely unaware he's already being watched. That tension between the hunter and the hunted, set against a canopy of tropical green, tells you everything you need to know about where Raven Darkhölme stands in any given situation. Sean McKeever and artist Manuel García deliver part four of five in what shapes up to be a taut, espionage-tinged arc.
