X-Men #26

In "Bloodties Part 2: Civil Disobedience!", the Avengers storm Genosha against U.N. orders, breaking through SHIELD forces to reach Luna before Cortez, while the X-Men close in from behind—tensions flaring as lines between allies and enemies blur. Written by Fabian Nicieza and brought to life by Andy Kubert’s dynamic art, with inks by Matt Ryan and colors by Joe Rosas, this 1993 issue captures a pivotal clash of duty and defiance, its cover by Andy Kubert and Matthew Ryan perfectly framing the chaos.
