X-Men: Divided We Stand #2

In "Lights Out," the X-Men face a fractured moment as Bishop's sudden assault sends shockwaves through the team, forcing Forge to confront his unraveling mind while reworking his base under pressure. Written by Duane Swierczynski and brought to life with sharp, kinetic art by Chris Burnham, this 2008 issue captures the tension of a team pushed to the edge—where strategy and sanity hang in the balance. The cover by Brandon Peterson sets the tone with a stark, foreboding image that mirrors the story’s growing unease.
