Astonishing X-Men #22
In "Unstoppable [Part Four]," the Astonishing X-Men face their most dire challenge yet as the team converges on a moon that’s not a moon at all—but a weapon designed to fire a mile-long bullet at Earth. Joss Whedon’s gripping narrative builds tension with emotional weight and high stakes, while John Cassaday’s dynamic art brings every moment to life, from Emma’s quiet revelation to Danger’s uncertain future. The cover by Cassaday captures the epic scale of the crisis, making this a standout issue in the series.
