Champions #4 (41)

In Champions #4, Cyclops steps in to protect the young heroes, but his help comes with a twist: he can't take them to Krakoa as they hoped. Instead, he sends them to join Kitty Pryde’s crew on the open sea, where they’re quickly drawn into a clash with Attuma during an attack on a remote research facility. Written by Eve L. Ewing and illustrated by Bob Quinn with colors by Federico Blee and letters by VC's Clayton Cowles, this issue blends tense revelations with high-stakes action. The cover, by Toni Infante, captures the moment’s urgency with striking detail.
