X-Men Forever #22

In "Into That Good Night Part 2: Rise--To the Challenge!", the X-Men launch a desperate assault on the Consortium’s orbital platform, where an anti-mutant weapon threatens Earth. With Jean and Beast racing to disable the device, Hank faces a grim choice—there may be no way to stop it without sacrificing himself. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Daniel HDR, with inks by Greg Adams, colors by Wil Quintana, and letters by Tom Orzechowski, this pivotal issue builds tension with high stakes and emotional weight. The cover, by Tom Grummett and Terry Austin, captures the moment’s intensity.
