Death of X #2

The second chapter of this 2016 Marvel miniseries arrives with a striking Aaron Kuder cover that frames the conflict through an hourglass motif — Scarlet Witch looms large above, her flowing red hair swirling dramatically into the organic tendrils that shape the composition, while below a group of X-Men including Storm, Cyclops, and several teammates brace themselves amid ominous green clouds. It's a visually arresting image that sets the two sides of a brewing mutant crisis in sharp, unmistakable contrast. With writers Charles Soule and Jeff Lemire driving the story, Death of X #2 promises to keep the tension wound tight as the four-issue series builds toward its conclusion.
