Mystique #5

Few covers capture identity's slippery nature as strikingly as this one: a pale, hollow-faced figure with flowing red hair holds up a glowing blue mask — Mystique's true face — as though peeling back one self to reveal another beneath. The unsettling image perfectly captures the shapeshifter's world, where nothing is ever quite what it appears. Declan Shalvey and Matt Hollingsworth bring their striking visual sensibility to this 2025 Marvel series, and issue five looks to keep the tension running deep.
