Astonishing X-Men #17

A figure in a sleek black suit and distinctive white-crested helmet erupts from a heap of shattered machinery, fist raised and mouth open in a triumphant shout, a blazing circular energy aura radiating outward from his chest — it's a striking image of defiant power from Greg Land and Jay Leisten. This is part five of "Until Our Hearts Stop," with Matthew Rosenberg's script and Frank D'Armata's vivid colors pushing the series toward what looks like a charged climax. A solid chapter in the 2019 run of Astonishing X-Men that fans of the team will want in their hands.
