All-New X-Men #12

All-New X-Men #12 leans into something a little more tender than your average mutant adventure — the cover by Mark Bagley and Andrew Hennessy frames Cyclops and a masked young woman in a warm, rose-tinted embrace, their hands clasped and faces drawn close against a backdrop of swirling pink flame. It's a genuinely striking image, heart-shaped negative space and all, that suggests the team's emotional lives are every bit as charged as their powers. Dennis Hopeless, Bagley, Hennessy, and colorist Nolan Woodard bring a confident, stylish energy to this 2016 Marvel series.
