New Mutants Lethal Legion #3

The tension is palpable on Javi Fernández's cover for this third chapter of New Mutants: Lethal Legion — a towering, caped villain in black and red looms over a young woman he's seized by the throat, while a group of battered heroes sprawl in the foreground amid a landscape of rubble and glowing, fire-lit chaos. It's a striking image of power and peril that sets the stage for "Old Wounds, Old Weapons," the latest installment from writer Charlie Jane Anders and artist Enid Balám. If the first two issues have you invested in these mutants' fight, issue #3 makes clear the stakes have never been higher.
