The Uncanny X-Men #431

In "The Draco Part Three," the X-Men face off against Azazel and his forces as the team hurtles toward a crisis with deep personal stakes. Polaris confronts her past, revealing how she survived the fall of Genosha and the shocking truth of her lineage, while Mystique makes a daring escape from the Abyss. Written by Chuck Austen and brought to life with dynamic art by Philip Tan—both on interior and cover—this 2003 issue delivers intense emotional weight and high-stakes action, with color by Avalon Studios and letters by Rus Wooton.
