Destiny of X #21

Marvel's Destiny of X Volume 21 from Panini Comics brings together work by Gillen, Werneck, Ewing, Camagni, Caselli, Duggan, Cassara, LaValle, Kirk, Percy, and Ryp — a remarkable roster of talent shaping the mutant corner of the Marvel universe. The cover draws the eye immediately: a diamond-shaped vignette reveals what appears to be Cyclops's visor blazing with light, while beneath it lurks a grotesque, fang-filled creature with pale, unsettling eyes, the whole composition framed against a stark black background dominated by a bold red X. It's a striking design that balances the familiar imagery of the X-Men with something genuinely ominous, making this 2023 French-language collection a compelling addition to any shelf.
