Ultimate X-Men #13 (2024) – Peach Momoko Cover

Ultimate X-Men #13 begins the second year of Peach Momoko's distinctive Ultimate X-Men series with “The Mutant New World Order.” As mutant tensions escalate in the new Ultimate Universe, former Children of the Atom rise against the society that has exploited and mistreated them.

At the center of the conflict are Armor (Hisako Ichiki) and Maystorm, whose growing tensions erupt into an explosive confrontation. The issue expands the unusual supernatural and psychological interpretation of the X-Men established by Peach Momoko while pushing the young mutant heroes into a dangerous new phase.

The cover itself features a striking close-up portrait of Armor, rendered in Peach Momoko's delicate manga-inspired style. Her face dominates the composition while an unusual red, organic-looking armored form/headpiece covers part of her forehead. Behind her, large flowing gray shapes and curling tendrils create an eerie, dreamlike supernatural atmosphere. The restrained cream, gray and red palette gives the artwork a distinctive Japanese horror/fantasy aesthetic. The cover is the regular Peach Momoko Cover A.
