Astonishing X-Men #11
This Modern Era Epic Collection kicks off Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's celebrated run on Astonishing X-Men, collecting the first arc, 'Gifted.' When the X-Men—including Cyclops, Emma Frost, and Wolverine—re-form the team with a public mission, they face a new mutant discovery that challenges everything they know about the mutant condition. The volume sets the stage for a tightly plotted saga of secrets, betrayal, and the team's struggle to balance hope with the harsh realities of a world that fears them.
In "null," the X-Men are thrown into disarray at a wedding reception when Karma goes missing, her absence a quiet alarm in the midst of celebration. Nearby, Karma fights to break free from the mind control of Susan Hatchi, her struggle hidden in plain sight—until Wolverine stumbles into the confrontation, setting off a deadly chain reaction when Hatchi triggers a bomb Karma had planted inside him.
In "null," the X-Men race against time to stop Susan Hatchi, a woman who openly confesses to her crimes, convinced no one can stop her. With Karma’s trail leading them to a forgotten Russian military base, they uncover a chilling network of human subjects—each a potential time bomb, twisted by Hatchi’s experiments and programmed to detonate rather than flee.
In "null," the X-Men flee Hatchi's research facility only to face a shocking revelation: Hatchi is Karma's half-sister, and she wields a terrifying power over them. Ordered to seize control of Madripoor by any means, the team fractures under pressure—especially when Northstar and Iceman clash, ending in Iceman's apparent demise in a vat of molten metal.
In "null," chaos erupts in Madripoor when Susan Hatchi attempts to manipulate the X-Men into serving her will. Tyger Tiger moves to detain the mutants, but the situation takes a shocking turn when the long-dead father of Karma and Susan reappears—alive.
In "null," Jo finds herself caught in a deadly game when Susan orders Karma to kill their father, threatening to unleash her nanotechnology to destroy New York City. With the X-Men working behind the scenes—faking Iceman’s death and neutralizing the nanobots—Karma must navigate the fallout as her father eliminates Susan, leaving her to grapple with the shocking inheritance of Susan’s vast fortune.
In "Welcome to the Family," newlyweds Northstar and his partner find their honeymoon abruptly cut short when the X-Men enlist Northstar’s super-speed to stop a new threat from the mutant-hating Friends of Humanity. The mission pulls him into a high-stakes chase that tests both his loyalty and the strength of his new life together.
