Marvel: The Lost Generation #11
In "Fifth Column," the First Line confronts Nocturne as she unleashes an alchem-techno virus that warps the skyline of New York, beginning with the upper floors of the Baxter Building. As a man stumbles upon a crashed rocketship and warns of an impending Skrull invasion—only to be dismissed until Ben Grimm sends him to Reed Richards—another thread unfolds in the Himalayas, where a female Skrull spy forms an unexpected bond with an outcast Yeti. Written by Roger Stern and John Byrne, with art by Byrne and inks by Al Milgrom, this issue blends urban sci-fi dread with quiet, offbeat connections, all rendered in striking color by Glynis Oliver and lettered by Jim Novak. The cover, by Byrne and Milgrom, captures the tension with a sharp, grounded eye.
