“Choosing Sides Part 5: Above the Law”

In "Choosing Sides Part 5: Above the Law," the leaders of Xavier's School face a moral crisis when they must decide whether to turn Kevin over to the FBI for his father’s murder, ultimately choosing to uphold the law—even if it means betraying a mutant student. Meanwhile, Hellion and his team refuse to stand by, setting out on a bold mission to rescue Kevin before it's too late. Written by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir, with art by Michael Ryan and inks by Rick Ketcham and Avalon, this pivotal issue explores the tension between justice and loyalty, all under Andy Park’s striking cover.
