Ultimate Extinction #5

The finale of this five-issue Marvel limited series arrives with a cover that is genuinely hard to look away from — a vast, symmetrical armada of dark mechanical forms fills the cosmos, with a massive central sphere blazing with glowing pink light at its core. Brandon Peterson's painted cover art gives the scene an almost hypnotic, oppressive scale, with countless identical craft arrayed in perfect formation as if heralding something inevitable. Warren Ellis's cosmic vision, brought to life by Peterson and colorist Justin Ponsor, reaches its conclusion here in what the cover alone promises is a confrontation of staggering proportions.
