“Hunger!”

In "Hunger!", Nova confronts a moral reckoning as she tracks down a new world for Galactus to devour—only to be haunted by the memory of a planet she once saw through the Silver Surfer’s eyes: a primitive Earth, long before humanity rose. Written by Ron Marz and brought to life by Ron Lim’s dynamic art and Tom Christopher’s sharp inks, this issue deepens the cosmic stakes with quiet intensity. The cover by Ron Lim and Tom Christopher captures the weight of that choice in a single, haunting image.
