All-New X-Men #17

Chapter 6 of the sprawling "Battle of the Atom" crossover arrives in this 2013 Marvel issue, with a cover by Ed McGuinness and Dexter Vines showcasing a striking ensemble of future X-Men — including a fiery-haired figure blazing with flame energy, a massive armored Colossus-like form, a cloaked elderly mutant, a white-haired Storm analog, a visored young Cyclops, and a heavily armored X-branded warrior — all emerging dramatically from dark, curtain-like shadows. The composition crackles with tension, each character radiating a distinct power signature that hints at just how high the stakes have become across timelines. Brian Michael Bendis scripts, with interior art from Stuart Immonen, Wade von Grawbadger, and Marte Gracia bringing the cross-era conflict to vivid life.
