New X-Men #153
In "Here Comes Tomorrow 3 of 4: We All Have to Die Sometime," Grant Morrison and Marc Silvestri deliver a gripping chapter of the New X-Men saga, where Phoenix, acting on Sublime’s command, wipes out an insectoid species across Pan-Africa—only to preserve the consciousness of the X-Men’s ambassador as a rare exception. With a Crawler spreading a mental plague through the Xavier Institute and a swarm of flying Crawlers targeting Mer-Max at sea, the X-Men face overwhelming odds as the Institute begins to collapse. Cover by Marc Silvestri and Joe Weems, this 2004 issue captures a pivotal moment in the series’ escalating cosmic conflict.

Phoenix, on Sublime's orders exterminates an insectoid race in Pan-Africa that she agrees is an evolutionary dead-end. But she encounters the X-Men's ambassador to them, and brings his consciousness back as an example of a viable species. Sublime thinks otherwise, and has sent a massive Crawler with a mental plague into the Institute, and an army of flying crawlers to intercept the X-Men's attack and kill the aquatic X-Man Mer-Max. As the Institute begins to fall and the X-Men at sea realize their long odds, the Phoenix joins the fray.
