Powers of X #4

The penultimate chapter of Jonathan Hickman's Powers of X arrives with a cover that puts a sleek, black-suited Cyclops front and center, his hand raised with quiet authority as a constellation of mutant faces surrounds him — Storm, Jean Grey in her golden mask, Wolverine, Magneto, Nightcrawler, and a dozen more peers gazing outward from a swirling purple void. R. B. Silva's composition turns the X-Men's roster into something almost ceremonial, each face carrying its own gravity against that eerie, spore-dotted background. With Marte Gracia's rich violet palette tying it all together, this 2019 issue feels like a reckoning is quietly taking shape.
