New X-Men #[2]

In "Germ Free Generation: One of Three," Grant Morrison and Ethan Van Sciver kick off a chilling exploration of fear and identity as anti-mutant sentiment surges, fueled by the controversial writings of John Sublime. With tensions boiling, Scott and Emma confront Sublime, only to be ambushed as his true, horrifying intentions are revealed—while Angel Salvadore faces a desperate struggle of her own after being cast out and hunted. The cover by Frank Quitely and Tim Townsend captures the issue’s unsettling tone, setting the stage for a story where trust is fragile and the line between protector and predator blurs.
