Newuniversal #6

Warren Ellis and Salvador Larroca bring their ambitious reimagining of Marvel's New Universe to its sixth chapter with "Tumble," and the cover sets a genuinely arresting tone. Larroca's artwork pulls the eye upward along a cascading trail of luminous rectangular forms rising from a towering city skyscraper into a vast, star-filled sky, while silhouetted figures perch on rooftops and a rugged, scarred man looms in the foreground. The cool blue palette and sweeping cosmic scale make this one of 2007's more quietly striking superhero covers.
