“The Dark Before the Dawn”

In "The Dark Before the Dawn," Storm confronts Forge at his Aerie, only to discover a shocking truth about his allegiance—just as Mystique delivers a chilling warning that Destiny has foretold the X-Men’s demise in Dallas. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life with striking intensity by Marc Silvestri (pencils) and Bob Wiacek (inks), this pivotal issue deepens the mystery surrounding Forge’s role in the larger conflict, with Glynis Oliver’s colors and Tom Orzechowski’s lettering adding to the tension. The cover by Marc Silvestri and Bob Wiacek captures the moment’s weight in stark, dramatic detail.
