Aug 2004 · Marvel · 2.99 USD; 4.25 CAD
“Forging the Sword 2 of 4: With a Little Help from My Friends”

In "Forging the Sword 2 of 4: With a Little Help from My Friends," Chris Claremont and Aaron Lopresti deliver a tense, character-driven chapter as Xavier and Magneto lay the groundwork for rebuilding Genosha—only to face new threats from within. Callisto's arrival adds a powerful new voice to their alliance, while Freakshow’s dramatic return of Unus sets a volatile new course, and Hack’s warning of an approaching Omega Sentinel sends ripples through the team. Andy Park’s striking cover captures the moment’s intensity, framing the stakes with a bold, cinematic flair.
