New Mutants #13

Part 7 of the sprawling 22-chapter "X of Swords" crossover arrives here, with Rod Reis delivering a cover that crackles with kinetic energy — two blonde-haired figures clash in a blaze of yellow and red light, one wielding a gleaming sword, while a dramatic panel inset looms overhead showing two intensely strained faces up close, serrated steel cutting between them. Ed Brisson and Reis team up for what promises to be a high-stakes chapter in this ambitious X-Men event, and the cover's explosive composition makes it easy to see why this crossover captured so much attention in 2020. The issue also carries a heartfelt "Rest in Power" tribute to Chadwick Boseman, giving this chapter a quietly meaningful place in Marvel history.
