Astonishing X-Men #23

In "Unstoppable Part Five," the tension mounts as the X-Men and S.W.O.R.D. split up to pursue their next objectives, while Aghanne and Dafi grapple with the shocking news of a fallen teammate. With Cyclops captured and revived for interrogation, Armor and Wolverine are taken, and Shadowcat and Colossus bring Aghanne into the fight, Emma uncovers a startling truth: the prophecy they’ve been following isn’t ancient—it’s a recent plan, and the entire sequence of events, including Cyclops’s capture, was orchestrated telepathically just before he left the ship. Written by Joss Whedon and illustrated by John Cassaday, with colors by Laura Martin and letters by Chris Eliopoulos, this pivotal issue builds toward a final confrontation, all under a cover by John Cassaday.
