“Invasion”

In "Invasion," the X-Men's epic Onslaught saga reaches a fever pitch as New York plunges into darkness after Onslaught's devastating EMP blast. With the city in chaos and the Avengers scrambling to help, Giant-Man and Iron Man arrive in newly forged psionic armor—only to be ambushed by the rogue operatives Post and Holocaust, who seek to claim the powerful gear for themselves. As the Avengers repel the attackers, Onslaught himself emerges to mock them, setting the stage for an inevitable clash. Written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Mike Deodato Jr., with inks by Tom Palmer and colors by John Kalisz, the issue's cover by Ian Churchill and Scott Hanna captures the moment’s escalating tension.
