A.X.E.: Death to the Mutants #2

Part of the sprawling A.X.E. crossover uniting the Avengers, X-Men, and Eternals, this 2022 Marvel tie-in delivers its tensions in vivid style. Esad Ribić's cover places a massive, armored Eternal — channeling blinding energy blasts from both outstretched arms — at the fore, while an X-Man in a black-and-red uniform braces defiantly behind him amid shattered green crystals and rubble. Kieron Gillen and Guiu Vilanova bring the same creative energy inside, making this a compelling chapter in one of 2022's most ambitious Marvel events.
