“Faith”

In "Faith," Magma shares a powerful, personal memory with Empath, recalling a moment when her doubt was met with a miraculous intervention—Hercules, the mythic hero, appeared to her in a time of need. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Louis Williams, Terry Shoemaker, and Josef Rubinstein, this emotionally resonant issue explores belief, legacy, and the quiet heroism that lingers beyond legend. The cover by Louis Williams and Josef Rubinstein captures the weight of that moment in a single, striking image.

Magma tells Empath about how she met her god: when she once doubted her faith, Hercules visited her, but she did not believe he was real until he saved a boy from a fire and told him stories all night until he died, a hero, like Jason and the Argonauts.
