The Uncanny X-Men #487

In "The Extremists Part One," the X-Men’s return from space coincides with a violent clash in the Morlock Tunnels, where Masque attacks Caliban and captures Leech, distorting Caliban’s face in the process. With the underground mutant community under siege, Caliban turns to the X-Men for help—prompting Professor X to launch a personal mission to track down Magneto. Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated by Salvador Larroca, with colors by Jason Keith and lettering by Virtual Calligraphy and Joe Caramagna, this issue marks a pivotal moment in the fractured state of the mutant world, all captured in a striking cover by Larroca.
