Ultimate X-Men #95

Part two of "Absolute Power" arrives in this 2008 installment of the March on Ultimatum tie-in, with a moody, atmospheric cover by Gabriele Dell'Otto that sets an ominous tone. A dark-winged young man dominates the foreground alongside a crouching blue-skinned figure whose grin hints at barely contained menace, while a large bird of prey looms between them and glowing violet spider-like sigils pulse in the lower left. It's a striking composition that signals real tension at the heart of this four-part story, brought to the interior page by the creative team of Aron E. Coleite, Mark Brooks, and Brandon Peterson.
