Amazing X-Men #4

A chilling, ethereal palette sets the mood for part four of "The Quest for Nightcrawler" as Ed McGuinness and Dexter Vines deliver a cover that stops you cold. A frost-encrusted Wolverine crouches menacingly in the foreground, his ice-covered claws splayed wide, while a lone figure stands in the hazy distance across what appears to be a frozen expanse. Jason Aaron's five-part story is building toward something, and this haunting image of Wolverine — feral, encased in ice, and poised to strike — makes it clear the stakes couldn't be higher.
