All-New X-Men #36

Two claw-wielding figures — a blonde man and a dark-haired woman, both sporting adamantium sets — dominate this Mahmud Asrar cover in a face-off crackling with tension, while a sprawling cast of X-Men fills the background in a swirl of lightning, wings, optic blasts, and chaos. The sheer density of mutant power on display makes it clear that issue #36 is a full-ensemble affair with no shortage of conflict to go around. Asrar's linework, colored by Marte Gracia, gives the whole thing an urgent, kinetic energy that practically leaps off the page.
