Dark Avengers #7

In "Utopia Part Three," the tension in San Francisco reaches a breaking point as Hank's deteriorating condition from the Omega Machine strains the fragile peace. With Hellion leading a mutant protest and the Dark X-Men deployed to suppress it, Cyclops confronts Osborn with a stark ultimatum—leave the city and let mutants be. As the Dark Avengers clash with Norman's X-Men over control, Emma Frost demands answers about the Omega Machine’s subjects, her focus blinded by Dark Beast’s cunning illusions, even as Xavier stands mere feet away. Written by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Luke Ross, with inks by Rick Magyar, Mark Pennington, and Ross, and colors by Rain Beredo, this issue captures the escalating stakes of a fractured world—cover by Mike Deodato Jr.
