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.
