In "Death by Drowning!", Rogue and Dazzler clash in a charged confrontation as the Marauders close in on Madelyne Pryor, forcing the X-Men into a desperate rescue mission in San Francisco. Chris Claremont’s tense storytelling, brought to life by Marc Silvestri’s dynamic art and Dan Green’s sharp inks, captures the stakes as the team races to protect Madelyne—only to face a shocking twist when a mind-controlled Marauder with magnetic powers suddenly appears. Cover by Marc Silvestri and Dan Green.
