New X-Men #21

In "Childhood's End Part 2 of 4," the New X-Men face a rising threat as Reverend Stryker reemerges, reigniting his crusade against mutants. With their ranks diminished after M-Day, the students grapple with uncertainty—especially when Wolverine brings X-23 to the mansion, claiming she’s his cloned sister, sparking tension with Emma Frost. Under David’s guidance, the team ventures into the Morlock tunnels to train in a newly built Danger Cave, confronting old missions and new challenges alike. Written by Craig Kyle and Chris Yost, with dynamic art by Mark Brooks and inks by Jaime Mendoza and Jay Leisten, this issue captures the raw energy of a team in flux. The cover, also by Mark Brooks with Jaime Mendoza inks, sets the tone with a striking, grounded image of the group in transition.
