Newuniversal #4

Warren Ellis and Salvador Larroca's reinvention of Marvel's New Universe continues with issue four, "Distance" — and the cover makes an immediate impression. Larroca's artwork dominates with a massive, billowing fireball consuming the main composition in rich amber and sepia tones, a lone aircraft visible above the churning explosion, while a vertical strip along the right edge offers fragmented glimpses of several characters — a close eye, a standing figure, a stern-faced older man — hinting at the human stakes within. It's a striking, contemplative design that balances apocalyptic scale with quiet character detail, exactly the kind of patient storytelling energy Ellis is known to bring to ambitious rebuilds.
