Strange Academy #11

Strange Academy continues Marvel's magical school series with an unsettling cover that trades student hijinks for something far more ominous — a vast, frozen landscape littered with jagged crystalline formations that seem to have erupted from the ground, with a partially buried golden figure visible at the edge of the icy devastation. Humberto Ramos's linework gives the shards an almost living quality, and Edgar Delgado's cool blues and purples make the scene feel both beautiful and deeply foreboding. Skottie Young's series has always balanced wonder with genuine danger, and this image suggests the stakes for the Academy's students have never felt higher.
