This issue was action packed, beautifully illustrated and introduced a mysterious villain that I hope we find out more about. Although it remains to be seen if he was just taken over by this transformation or if he was still fully in control once he transformed.
I'm probably the only person who is not a fan of the cover but take that with a grain of salt. It's the only thing (apart from the speech bubbles which was already mentioned) that I really don't like in this issue. I'm not too keen on the texture in the background and I'm not sure if that is DNA behind the glowing figure? Also I'm not sure how the cover was meant to tie in with this issue apart from somebody's DNA changing - but there wasn't much visual consistency between the cover and the issue for me. But I do know it's difficult to create cover artwork without giving too much away. And on a final note, perhaps it would be a good idea to try incorporating the Sanctioned logo and issue number into a cover without any solid colour background behind it.
I'll take all of this into consideration, but regarding how the cover relates to the issue at hand...well, it actually does, but telling you would spoil things down the road, although what I just said pretty much gives it away.
And in regards of the villain being taken over by this transformation, or it being something he can control, it's pretty much both. Some of the dialog in issue 3 or 4 (I swear, both these issues are literally back to back follow ups to issue 2, that I get confused what happens lol), is going to pretty explain it in some form, only through what certain characters are feeling. So there won't be any In-Universe explanation just yet.

Oh my god, Inferno lived up to how I was hyping him. I love the way that you captured him; so much grandeur, weight, and devastation giving him a seriously large sense of presence. The portrayal of the destruction is also awesome and very well done with an almost abstract splash of fiery colours. Big fan of the head distortions and lighting flares as well.
The [overall] story got down to business very quickly as well without much of an expository monologue this time-- the man that turns into a terrifying fire titan did that more than well enough. 
Now I'm just hungry for more!

I'd argue that the divide in visual consistencies between covers and content is a common practice in comics.
Glad the the build up actually had a pay off, I'm sure I was hyping this character up unintentionally during the live streams this past week, so it's good to see he lived up to whatever your expectations were.
Once again, thanks to all of you for taking the time to read this, I'll be once again taking all suggestions to heart. Going to for sure improve on the word balloons, the text being bigger, etc.
