Guardians of the Galaxy & X-Men: The Black Vortex

In 2016, Marvel's cosmic and mutant worlds collided in this single-issue special, written by Sam Humphries with art by Ed McGuinness and Kris Anka. When the Black Vortex—a mysterious artifact with the power to transform those who touch it—appears, Beast finds himself caught between the Guardians of the Galaxy and the X-Men, each with their own plans for its immense power. This one-shot serves as a key epilogue to the larger "Black Vortex" crossover, exploring the consequences of cosmic-scale choices on a personal level.
