Age of X Alpha #1

Mar 2011 · Marvel · 2.99 USD

In Age of X Alpha #1, a fractured group of X-Men recounts their altered pasts in a world where mutant persecution has reached a brutal new peak, all while sheltering on the isolated Fortress X. As they brace for an inevitable final assault on their sanctuary, the tension builds with a haunting sense of dread—then the attack begins. Written by Mike Carey and illustrated by a rotating team of artists including Mirco Pierfederici, Gabriel Hernández Walta, and Carlo Barberi, with a striking cover by Chris Bachalo and Tim Townsend, this issue reimagines the X-Men mythos with a chilling, personal edge.
