Death of X #4

The concluding chapter of this 2016 Marvel limited series arrives with a cover that feels genuinely monumental — a red-suited Cyclops stands with arms open wide, his back to us, facing a blinding column of light, while a luminous, armored figure looms above in an explosion of vivid pink, blue, and gold energy. Aaron Kuder's cover art frames the confrontation between mutantkind and the Inhuman world with a striking sense of finality, the X logo formed by the negative space around that central figure overhead. Written by Jeff Lemire and Charles Soule, this issue brings the long-anticipated conflict at the heart of Death of X to its close.
