Marauders #11

Part of the X of Swords crossover event, Marauders #11 carries an unmistakable weight from its very first glance. Russell Dauterman's cover depicts Emma Frost and Storm leaning over a figure laid out in a bed of red flowers, their expressions etched with grief, while a crowd of silhouetted mutants looms in the background against a burning sky. It's a quietly devastating image — solemn and ceremonial — and Gerry Duggan, Stefano Caselli, and Edgar Delgado bring that same emotional intensity to the interiors.
