In "The Extremists Part Five," Storm is trapped in the Morlock tunnels by Masque, who believes a prophecy in a book written by a precog Morlock demands a deadly act of violence. With time running out and the fate of mutants hanging in the balance, Storm breaks free and confronts Masque’s plans head-on. Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated by Salvador Larroca, with colors by Jason Keith and lettering by VC and Joe Caramagna, this pivotal issue sees Xavier abandon his pursuit of Magneto, while Val delivers Qwerty’s book of prophecy to the former Master of Magnetism. The cover, by Salvador Larroca, captures the intensity of the moment.
