Astonishing X-Men #2
In "Surdoués," Storm’s death during a Weapon X mission sends the team into a new reality where Hyperion—sent by the Timebroker—immediately takes charge, overriding the Tallus and pushing for conquest. But their new world is already ruled by Magneto, setting up a tense clash of wills between the newcomers and the established master of mutants. Written by Chuck Austen and illustrated by Jim Calafiore, with inks by Mark McKenna and colors by Transparency Digital, the issue features a striking cover by John Cassaday.
In "L'épée sur l'enclume," Xavier and Magneto cautiously align their visions for Genosha’s future, setting the stage for a fragile new order. As Callisto steps into their growing circle, the sudden return of Unus—spewed forth by Freakshow—brings a storm of fury and a long-buried grudge. With Hack sensing the ominous approach of an Omega Sentinel, the island trembles under the weight of past wounds and looming threats.
In "Un voyage fantastique," the Exiles and the Fantastic Four join forces to confront Mimic, whose body has been overtaken by the Brood. As they fight to purge the alien infection, the battle takes a tragic turn when Sunfire falls, leaving the team forever changed. With Blink stepping in to fill the void, the mission continues—though the cost is already etched in their resolve.
In "Le roi Hypérion," Storm’s death during a Weapon X mission sends the team into a new reality where Hyperion, dispatched by the Timebroker, steps in as their new leader. Asserting his dominance, Hyperion declares they should seize control of the world they’ve landed on—only to find it already ruled by Magneto.
