District X #8

In "Underground 2 of 6," the tension in District X deepens as Izzy investigates a hidden community of mutants living beneath the city, where young children are among the residents. Bishop confronts his superior Vazhin over the recent shooting of Mr. M, while a blackout orchestrated by the Tunnel Rats’ leader, Melek, threatens to force the upworlders out. The issue unfolds with emotional intensity as personal conflicts collide—Armena’s struggles with her marriage, Izzy’s volatile return home, and a tense encounter with Lara at the strip club—setting the stage for a story where survival and trust are tested in the shadows. Written by David Hine and illustrated by Lan Medina, with vibrant colors by Digital Rainbow and sharp lettering by Richard Starkings, Jimmy Betancourt, and Comicraft, the cover by Steve McNiven and Mark Morales captures the underground’s looming mystery.
