New X-Men #42

In "Children of X-Men Part 1," the New X-Men grapple with the growing challenge of protecting their younger teammates—especially as the group debates who among them might be the youngest mutant on Earth. With tensions rising and the stakes higher than ever, the team must confront the weight of their responsibilities while navigating the uncertainty of their own evolving identities.

In "Endangered Species Chapter 12," Beast and his dark alternate—Dark Beast—arrive at the Guthrie farm to investigate why five of the ten children there have suddenly developed mutant abilities. As Beast focuses on gathering information, Dark Beast takes a dangerous interest in one of the boys, pushing his experiments to a devastating limit.
