Uncanny X-Force #31

Five battle-worn figures stride forward with quiet, purposeful menace on Jerome Opeña's cover — Wolverine at the center, claws drawn, flanked by Deadpool, Psylocke, a winged Angel, and X-23, each weapon bared and ready. It's a striking image of a team that has clearly been through the fire, rendered in a moody sepia palette that gives the whole thing a grim, cinematic weight. Rick Remender and Phil Noto's "Final Execution Chapter Seven" promises the penultimate tension of a saga pushing its characters — and readers — right to the edge.
