X-Men #25

In "Fatal Attractions: Dreams Fade," the X-Men launch a desperate assault on the mystical fortress of Avalon, pushing their limits in a battle that tests both their strength and resolve. As Magneto unleashes a shocking attack by extracting adamantium from Wolverine’s body and Professor X attempts to disable him through sheer will, the team faces a turning point that leaves lasting consequences. The issue closes with Colossus remaining behind to tend to a fallen enemy, marking a quiet moment of consequence amidst the chaos. Written by Fabian Nicieza and illustrated by Andy Kubert, with inks by Matt Ryan, colors by Joe Rosas, and letters by Bill Oakley, the cover by Andy Kubert and Matthew Ryan captures the intensity of the moment.
