Excalibur #3

In "Forging the Sword 3 of 4: Wild Things," Chris Claremont and Aaron Lopresti deliver a pulse-pounding chapter of Excalibur as Xavier confronts a terrifying illusion of an Omega Sentinel, setting the stage for chaos. When Hub, Hack, and Purge teleport onto a Genoshan plane carrying Magistrates, a captured Omega Sentinel, and a powerful mutant in missile tubes, their mission takes a deadly turn—leading to a crash, a plunge into the ocean, and a desperate race to stop the Magistrates from unleashing their weapons on Genosha. Andy Park's intense cover captures the high-stakes tension of the issue, which hits stands in 2004 with a 2.99 USD cover price.
