Astonishing X-Men #7
This volume collects issues #37-42 of the 2012 Astonishing X-Men series, featuring a storyline where the team faces the monstrous Fin Fang Foom alongside the manipulative Mentallo. The arc also delves into the dynamics between Wolverine, Cyclops, Emma Frost, and younger mutants like Armor and Hisako Ichiki, as they confront threats both physical and psychological.
In "Monstrous Part 1," Armor grapples with the devastating news of her mother and brother's deaths as the X-Men accompany her to Japan for the funeral. Meanwhile, Roxxon dispatches Mentallo and a team to Monster Island in search of oil, where his true intentions begin to surface. Written by Daniel Way and illustrated by Jason Pearson, with inks by Karl Story, colors by Sonia Oback, and letters by VC's Cory Petit, this issue blends personal grief with high-stakes adventure. The cover, a striking piece by Mike Kaluta, captures the tension of the island’s looming threat.
