New X-Men #20

"Childhood's End Part 1 of 4" marks a pivotal moment in the New X-Men series, as the aftermath of M-Day shatters the lives of Xavier’s students. With mutant powers suddenly gone, Kevin’s accidental harm to Laurie sends shockwaves through the school, forcing Emma and the Cuckoos to intervene with their telepathy to restore order. Written by Craig Kyle and Chris Yost, with dynamic art by Mark Brooks and inks by Jaime Mendoza, this issue captures the emotional weight of a world where power—and identity—are no longer guaranteed. The cover, also by Mark Brooks, reflects the quiet tension of a school on the edge.
