Marvels: Eye of the Camera #6
In "Closing the Book," Phil finds quiet closure as he reunites with Maggie, learning how her life unfolded after the Sheldon family shielded her from anti-mutant fear years prior.

Written by Kurt Busiek and Roger Stern, with interior art by Jay Anacleto and colors by Brian Haberlin, this poignant chapter closes a chapter in a story that began with a camera and ends with a promise. The cover, by Jay Anacleto, captures the weight of memory and farewell.
