The Uncanny X-Men #348

In "Because, I Said So," the X-Men are imprisoned in Magneto’s forgotten Antarctic base, stripped of their powers and at the mercy of the enigmatic Nanny—only Beast and Trish remain free. With Joseph mistaken for Magneto and the real threat of Operation Zero Tolerance unfolding on the monitors, tensions rise as Rogue finds an unexpected moment of closeness with Gambit, her powers temporarily neutralized. Written by Scott Lobdell and illustrated by Joe Madureira, Andy Smith, and a team of inkers, with colors by Digital Chameleon and letters by Richard Starkings and Comicraft, the cover by Joe Madureira captures the eerie tension of the moment.
