Astonishing X-Men #17
In "Torn Part Five," Joss Whedon and John Cassaday deliver a tense, emotionally charged chapter as Shadowcat is tormented by the White Queen's illusions, believing she’s protecting a son in peril—only to unwittingly free the true threat, Cassandra Nova. With Cyclops racing to intervene and Lockheed’s allegiance revealed as a S.W.O.R.D. operation, the stakes soar, while Wolverine’s return to himself comes in the most unexpectedly simple way. The cover by John Cassaday captures the moment’s intensity with sharp, expressive detail.
