Ultimate X-Men #55

Part two of "The Most Dangerous Game" arrives with a cover that puts a lone, blond-haired young mutant sprinting urgently through dense jungle foliage, his eyes glowing with active power and his expression tight with focus — clearly someone being hunted, or hunting. Stuart Immonen and Wade von Grawbadger deliver a cover full of kinetic momentum, the lush tropical setting suggesting real peril beyond the familiar walls of the Xavier Institute. Brian K. Vaughan's run on Ultimate X-Men was reliably sharp in 2005, and this chapter promises the kind of high-stakes tension its title openly invites.
