Universe X #11

Universe X #11 brings Alex Ross's painted sensibilities to a striking cover where a massive, luminous white figure dominates the composition, clutching an array of bizarre alien-looking creatures and weapons — a serpentine purple beast, a crimson winged form, and a teal dragon among them — all rendered with Ross's signature painterly detail. The sheer scale and density of imagery captures the sprawling, cosmically ambitious tone that has defined this series throughout 2001. With Krueger and Braithwaite driving the interior and Ross himself providing the cover art, this penultimate chapter of the numbered run is a compelling addition to one of Marvel's most visually ambitious alternate-universe sagas.
