“The Ties That Bind Part 2 of 6: Parents Week”

In "The Ties That Bind Part 2 of 6: Parents Week," Xavier’s School opens its doors for Parents Day, turning the grounds into a tense battleground of loyalty and secrets. Emma Frost subtly manipulates the visitation, pushing her influence on Dani’s students—until a shocking revelation about Josh’s past as a Reaver ignites a clash on the lawn, splitting friends apart in an instant. Written by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir, with art by Carlo Barberi and Khary Randolph, and a striking cover by Chris Bachalo, this issue captures the emotional stakes of belonging and identity in a world where trust is as fragile as it is essential.
