@70sComix Yeah, the whole issue had a real distinct quality to it that was a bit of a departure from the rest of the series. Here’s a few more pages to ogle.
NEW AVENGERS #15: The Illuminati use the Bridge device that Reed Richards built to peer into Black Swan’s past, and what they find is disturbing. Meanwhile, Black Swan gets acquainted with Terrax in the next cell over from hers.
NEW AVENGERS #14: The Illuminati of our Earth secretly watches the Illuminati of Earth-2319 fail to contend with the arrival of the Sidera Maris, forerunners of the Mapmakers. Meanwhile, Dr. Strange bargains with his soul to gain godlike powers which may help stop the incursions.
NEW AVENGERS #13: The Illuminati of an alternate Earth gather to deal with an incursion, while the Illuminati of *our* Earth works with Black Swan to craft a device capable of pulling data from other realities.
UNCANNY X-MEN #18: Things have been slightly awkward since Kitty Pryde and the Young X-Men joined up with Cyclops, but now they’ve gone missing, and all signs point to a kidnapping by the Shi’ar empire. How can the team even begin to go after them without a spaceship?
UNCANNY X-MEN #16: Dazzler, Agent of SHIELD, tells Magneto that someone is attempting to set up Madripoor as a safe haven for mutantkind. He goes to investigate and finds old friends Blob, Sabretooth, and Mystique...and learns an interesting secret that he doesn’t care for.
UNCANNY X-MEN #15: It’s a girls night out for the ladies of the group when they go shopping like normal folks do. It’s interrupted by a new Inhuman—a Latverian tourist named Geldhoff—emerging from his cocoon, and their encounter doesn’t go well.

Wolverine slices off his own face in this issue.
SAVAGE WOLVERINE #13: Wolverine has traced the poaching operation back to the lawless Madripoor, where his associate Tyger Tiger has been allowing it to happen.
SAVAGE WOLVERINE #12: Wolverine is communing with nature in the wilds of South Africa, & is none too pleased to find that poachers have been mutilating rhinos for their horns. He teams with the local rangers to stop not just the poachers themselves but the whole operation.
