Extermination #1

The original five X-Men — Jean Grey, Iceman, Angel, Beast, and Cyclops — fill this striking cover by Mark Brooks, their powers crackling and blazing against a divided cosmic backdrop that radiates real tension. Each figure looks visibly shaken, lightning-like energy tearing through the composition and binding them together in a way that feels anything but reassuring. Ed Brisson, Pepe Larraz, and Marte Gracia kick off this five-part X-Men epic with a first issue that promises high stakes for these time-displaced mutants right from the opening page.
