X-Men #49

In "Eyes of a New York Woman," Dark Beast manipulates events from the shadows, sending Fatale after Bishop—only to realize that the real vulnerability lies not in the target, but in his doppelgänger: the seemingly harmless Dr. Hank McCoy. Written by Scott Lobdell and Mark Waid, with Jeff Matsuda’s sharp pencils and Dan Panosian’s inks bringing the tension to life, this 1996 X-Men issue unfolds with a chilling precision. The cover by Matsuda and Panosian captures the eerie focus of a predator closing in.
