All-New X-Men #13

The young, time-displaced X-Men find themselves in a desperate spot on Stuart Immonen and Wade von Grawbadger's striking cover — a top-down view shows Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Iceman (in ice form), and Beast surrounded on all sides by a ring of heavily armed soldiers, their weapons trained inward with nowhere to escape. It's a tense, visually arresting composition that captures the vulnerability of these teenage heroes dropped into a world that clearly isn't ready to welcome them. Part of Marvel NOW!'s 2013 revitalization of the X-Men line, this issue promises high-stakes drama for fans of the series.
