Uncanny X-Force #17

The penultimate chapter of the "Vendetta" arc arrives with a cover by Ramón Pérez that commands immediate attention — a grinning, horned villain dominates the foreground, his metallic mask split to reveal a feral smile, while a red-haired woman is caught within his grasp and the looming figures of two imposing male characters flank the scene from behind. Sam Humphries brings the tension of this four-part story to a fever pitch, with art from Harvey Tolibao and Dexter Soy carrying the action inside. If the cover is any indication, the stakes for X-Force couldn't feel more dire.
