New Mutants #45

Two figures covered in glowing circuit-like tattoos clash against a swirling vortex of fiery red energy — one lunging forward with crackling fists, the other striking a wide combat stance with hands outstretched and ready. This is "Fear the Future Part 2 of 3," and writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning keep the tension high as artist Leandro Fernández handles the interior while John Tyler Christopher delivers a striking cover that pulses with an ominous, technological menace. A solid chapter in this 2012 arc that makes it very clear the New Mutants are up against something genuinely dangerous.
