New Mutants #3

A doorway frames the young mutants at the heart of this 2020 Marvel series, and Rod Reis's cover makes the most of the gathering: a silver-skinned duo in yellow-and-black uniforms stand front and center, one cradling a tropical drink adorned with a pink flower, while behind them a figure blazes in fiery orange armor and a translucent, skeletal pink entity looms to the right. A cloaked, shadowy presence watches from the left edge, adding just the right note of unease to an otherwise almost social scene. With Ed Brisson writing and Flaviano on interior art, New Mutants #3 pairs that striking visual tension with a story titled "To the Grave" — promising the team's easygoing camaraderie won't stay uncomplicated for long.
