New Mutants #13
"Second Coming Chapter Seven" marks a pivotal moment in the New Mutants' journey as the team returns from a brutal encounter with Hodge, battered and broken—Karma injured, Warlock shaken. With Vanisher fleeing after learning Bastion is targeting all teleporters, the X-Men's escape route is cut off when Bastion destroys the Blackbird, trapping them on Utopia. As the X-Club ventures into Bastion’s oil rig, they find only a carefully laid ambush, and tensions flare when Hope confesses she wasn’t ready to face the present—leaving Cable reeling. Written by Zeb Wells and illustrated by Ibraim Roberson and Lan Medina, with colors by Brian Reber and letters by Virtual Calligraphy and Joe Caramagna, the issue builds relentless suspense. Adi Granov’s striking cover captures the team’s isolation, a stark image of a fractured squad on the edge of collapse.
