Ultimate X-Men #79

A quiet, aching image anchors this 2007 Marvel series entry: a red-haired young woman in a black top and yellow glove presses her fist to her tear-streaked cheek, eyes closed, her grief rendered with striking intimacy by cover artists Yanick Paquette and Serge LaPointe. "Aftermath, Part 1" signals that whatever storm has passed through the Ultimate X-Men's world, its emotional weight is far from over. Robert Kirkman's run on the title makes this a compelling moment to check in with these characters as they reckon with the consequences.
