Art style: Comic Book.
A split-panel comic book layout. On the left, a bright, optimistic scene labeled 'THE OLD PATH' shows heroes retiring to a peaceful life. On the right, a darker, more complex scene labeled 'THE NEW REALITY' shows Alex still fighting, but against abstract foes like 'BURNOUT' and 'UNCERTAINTY'. Classic Marvel comic art.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Comic Book" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Comic Book". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Comic Book" idiom, not in any other medium.
