New Mutants #36

Part of Marvel's 2012 Regenesis initiative, New Mutants #36 brings Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's run to a kinetic boil with a cover by Jorge Molina that crackles with energy. The team assembles in dynamic tension — a masked, tattooed figure wielding an electric guitar takes center stage amid scattered amplifiers, while a fiery luminous figure arcs overhead, a dark-visored teammate leaps from above, and other X-uniformed mutants — including a young woman with a crossbow — converge in what looks like a charged confrontation. David López, Álvaro López, and Val Staples bring the interior pages to life, making "Homing Instinct" a compelling chapter for any fan of this scrappy, underappreciated team.
