X-Men / Fantastic Four #2

In this pivotal 2005 crossover, writer Akira Yoshida and artists Pat Lee, Edwin Garcia, and colorists Alan Wang, Pierre Theriault, Rob Ruffolo, and Stu Ng deliver a high-stakes clash as four X-Men and two members of the Fantastic Four face off against the Brood on a space station. With Reed Richards tracking a deadly cosmic storm on Earth and the Brood Queen’s chamber revealing infected survivors, the heroes must make a heart-wrenching choice—abandoning the infected to survive the radiation storm that follows their crash back to Earth. The cover by Pat Lee captures the tension of the moment, a striking image of the fallout from a battle that changes everything.
