Civil War: House of M #3
"Chapter 3: Reign" delivers a tense, high-stakes escalation in the fractured aftermath of House of M, as Magneto consolidates control over Genosha with a vision that stretches beyond mutantkind. With Xavier now confined to a wheelchair, the island becomes a battleground of ideology, as Magneto seeks alliances with the Inhumans, Atlanteans, and Wakandans—while American forces, led by Graydon Creed’s rhetoric, send Bucky, Nuke, and Mimic on a deadly mission to end his rule. Christos N. Gage’s gripping narrative, rendered with sharp precision by Andrea DiVito and Nathan Fairbairn, reaches a chilling moment when Winter Soldier confronts Xavier—leaving the outcome hanging in the balance. Mike Perkins’ cover captures the storm of conflict with striking intensity.
