Ultimate Comics X-Men #25

The "Natural Resources" arc continues in this 2013 installment of Ultimate Comics X-Men, with a cover by Dave Johnson that is genuinely striking in its stillness — a white-clad woman meditates in lotus position atop a twisting living vine, great leafy wings unfurling behind her against a deep crimson sky. The image radiates an almost spiritual tension, suggesting a mutant whose connection to the natural world runs far deeper than ordinary power. Brian Wood's run, brought to life by Mahmud Asrar with inks by Juan Vlasco and colors by Jordie Bellaire, makes this one of the more visually distinctive corners of Marvel's Ultimate universe.
