Astonishing X-Men #36
In "Monstrous Part 1," Armor grapples with devastating news as the X-Men accompany her to Japan for her mother and brother’s funeral, while Roxxon secretly dispatches Mentallo and a crew to Monster Island in search of oil—his true intentions far from the mission’s stated purpose. Written by Daniel Way and illustrated by Jason Pearson, with colors by Sonia Oback and letters by VC's Cory Petit, this issue blends personal grief with high-stakes adventure, all anchored by Pearson’s dynamic art and a cover by Pearson that captures the tension of the island’s looming threat.
