The Marvels #8

A winged figure in a black-and-yellow lightning-bolt suit soars front and center on Alex Ross's striking cover, dark feathered wings spread wide against a boldly divided red-and-green backdrop populated by ghostly faces — among them what appear to be Namor and other Marvel luminaries. Kurt Busiek, Yıldiray Çınar, and Guru-eFX bring "Part Eight: Almost Positive" to life in this 2022 chapter of The Marvels, a series that revels in weaving together the sprawling tapestry of the Marvel Universe. Ross's painterly composition gives the whole thing a cinematic weight that makes flipping to the interior feel genuinely earned.
