All-New X-Men #18

Tied into the Inhumans vs. X-Men crossover event, this 2017 issue puts the conflict in sharp, intimate focus with a cover by Mark Bagley and Hennessy depicting two Cyclops figures — one in a classic yellow-and-blue X-Men uniform, the other in a darker, more modern suit — squaring off in a charged, energy-filled standoff that crackles with red-hot tension. A third figure crouches low between them, caught in the middle of what looks like an unavoidable collision. Dennis Hopeless, Bagley, Hennessy, and Nolan Woodard bring a sense of real stakes to this chapter of one of 2017's most compelling Marvel team conflicts.
