The X-Men must unite to stop him before the suit’s radiation triggers a catastrophic explosion. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life by Werner Roth’s dynamic art and John Tartaglione’s sharp inks, with Sam Rosen’s crisp lettering, this issue features a cover by Roth and Tartaglione that captures the chaos in bold, striking detail.
