Marvel Boy #2 – NM – 2000 (Marvel)

NM — Bagged and boarded.

Noh-Varr declaring war on the human race and targeting the UN in issue two is Morrison establishing his thesis fast and hard — this isn't a traditional superhero book and never pretends to be. The Bannermen — gamma-enhanced, adamantium-laced super soldiers — make for a formidable government response, and J.G. Jones' kinetic art makes every page crackle.
