With the danger neutralized, the team launches a rescue mission and uncovers a massive cloaked vessel, where Wolverine and Armor board to investigate. Inside, they confront the shocking truth behind the attacks—the leader of Paradigm, a mutant long thought lost to the Phalanx. Written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Phil Jimenez with inks by Andy Lanning, the issue's striking cover by Jimenez and Lanning captures the scale of this mutant mystery.
