Ultimate X-Men #71

Part three of the "Phoenix?" arc arrives in Ultimate X-Men #71, and Ben Oliver's cover makes the tension impossible to ignore — a red-haired young woman is swarmed and grabbed by three grotesque, goblin-like creatures, her expression caught somewhere between defiance and desperation. Robert Kirkman's run on the series has been building toward this conclusion, and the visceral, claustrophobic image promises the stakes are as high as ever. If this arc has been on your pull list, this finale is one you won't want to skip.
