Ultimate Comics X-Men #8

A young woman in a dark coat and knit cap levitates serenely at the center of a massive fireball, debris scattering around her — it's a striking cover by Kaare Andrews that immediately signals both power and vulnerability in equal measure. Nick Spencer's 2012 run on Ultimate Comics X-Men continues here with artists Carlo Barberi, Walden Wong, and Juan Vlasco bringing the interior pages to life in vivid color courtesy of Marte Gracia. The image promises high-stakes tension in Marvel's Ultimate universe, where mutants face a world that's anything but safe.
