“Here Comes Tomorrow Conclusion: Rescue... and Emergency”

In "Here Comes Tomorrow Conclusion: Rescue... and Emergency," Grant Morrison and Marc Silvestri deliver a pivotal chapter where the X-Men face their most existential threat yet—Sublime, a sentient bacterial colony that has shaped evolution from the shadows. As the team battles the Sublime-possessed Beast, Jean Grey’s buried memories resurface, leading to a transcendent moment that reshapes time itself. The issue closes on a quiet, powerful moment between Scott and Emma at a graveside, where a simple kiss carries the weight of a new beginning. Cover by Marc Silvestri and Joe Weems.

Sublime turned out to be a sentient bacteria colony from prehistoric times, living inside all other forms until Mutants emerged as the first species that might challenge it. As the X-Men fall in battle against the Sublime-possessed Beast, they manage to reawaken Jean's true memories. She destroys Sublime, and manifesting as a White Phoenix of the Crown, reaches back through time, telling Scott to live. Back in the present day, we see Scott and Emma's graveside conversation once again, but this time when Emma asks Scott to stay with her and reopen the school, he kisses her and says "Yes".
