Marvel Collectible Classics: X-Men #6
"Rubicon" marks a pivotal moment in the X-Men saga, as Magneto establishes the Acolytes and declares Asteroid M a sanctuary for mutants—setting the stage for a growing rift between mutant kind and the rest of humanity. Written by Jim Lee and Chris Claremont, with dynamic art by Jim Lee and inks by Scott Williams, this 1998 issue captures the escalating tension with bold visuals and sharp storytelling. The cover by Humberto Ramos and Jimmy Palmiotti perfectly encapsulates the stakes, with Magneto’s defiant stance against a world that fears what it doesn’t understand.
