Destiny of X #8

The cover of this Panini Comics French collection spotlights a striking skull-faced figure — draped in layered robes of red, blue, and brown, one bony hand exposed and crackling blue energy coursing at their side — set against a diamond-shaped backdrop of deep red and floral patterning. It's a genuinely arresting image that sets a foreboding tone for the mutant stories gathered inside. With writing from Gillen, Ewing, Spurrier, Orlando, and Howard paired with art from Bandini, Caselli, Bazaldua, Broccardo, and Quinn, Destiny of X Volume 8 brings together some of 2023's most compelling voices in the Krakoan era of X-Men storytelling.
