Ultimate X-Men #3

Peach Momoko's watercolor-inflected cover for Ultimate X-Men #3 is quietly arresting — a young woman with two-toned hair and lightning-bolt earrings dominates the foreground, her dual-colored eyes carrying a weight that's hard to look away from, while a smaller figure slumps vulnerably in the background amid drips of red. Momoko brings the same aesthetic sensibility to the interior as writer, artist, inker, and colorist, making this a genuinely unified creative vision from a single distinctive voice. If this reimagined X-Men series has caught your attention, issue #3 makes a compelling case for staying with it.
