Astonishing X-Men #56

In this pivotal issue of Astonishing X-Men, Susan's ruthless gambit reaches its climax as she forces Karma to kill their father, threatening to unleash her nanotechnology on New York City. With the X-Men having anticipated her move—faking Iceman’s death and neutralizing her nanobots—the stage is set for a devastating confrontation. Written by Marjorie Liu and illustrated by Mike Perkins, with colors by Jay David Ramos and Andres Mossa, the issue delivers intense emotional stakes and high-stakes tension, all wrapped in Phil Noto’s striking cover art.
