Ultimate X-Men #8 — Peach Momoko Cover (2024)

Ultimate X-Men #8 is a Marvel Comics issue from Peach Momoko's reimagined Ultimate X-Men series. The cover presents a distinctive six-panel character collage against a predominantly white background. Each panel features a different young mutant character in a colorful manga-inspired illustration, while faint unfinished character sketches appear in the background.

The central panel features a red-armored character surrounded by glowing energy, while the surrounding panels depict characters in varied settings and poses, including a blue-haired girl, a long-haired fighter carrying a weapon, a dark-haired girl holding a staff, a white-haired character, and another character surrounded by red energy. The vertical ULTIMATE X-MEN logo runs along the left side, with the Marvel logo and issue number 8 at the top. Peach Momoko's name and the September 2024 cover-date marking appear near the bottom.

The issue explores questions surrounding the Children of the Atom, the origins of mutants, and the Maker's Council's control over them, while the investigation into a covered-up murder continues and Shadow King advances his plans. The story is set in Marvel's second Ultimate Universe, Earth-6160.
