Civil War: X-Men #2

In Civil War: X-Men #2 (2006), the X-Men race to locate the missing 198 mutants, only to be ambushed by a Sentinel. With tensions flaring, Val and Bishop devise a fragile plan to protect the group while awaiting a pardon, but Lazer’s manipulation of the unstable mutant Johnny Dee threatens to ignite chaos. As the team reaches an Arizona bunker where Domino is hiding the missing mutants, they’re met by government forces led by Bishop—setting the stage for a volatile standoff. Written by David Hine and illustrated by Yanick Paquette, with inks by Serge LaPointe, colors by Stephane Peru, and letters by VC's Russ Wooton, the issue’s cover by Juan Doe captures the storm brewing beneath the surface.
