As fans retweeted the cover in awe of the impeccable style with the superhero’s power being in the face, Swaby shared his thought process while creating the cover. He gave Storm’s classic costume and wanted to show her “beauty and dominance.”

Next, the comic artist released Devil’s Reign #4 Variant cover of Luke Cage. The superhuman strength and the buff body with a low-angle point-of-view of the cover bowled everyone over the incredible skills Swaby possesses.
