Ultimate Generation Next #[nn]

In a world ruled by Apocalypse, Colossus and Shadowcat lead the next generation of X-Men with relentless discipline, training them for a war they may not survive. When Magneto reveals he’s planning to travel back in time to save Professor Xavier—and needs a time traveler to make it possible—he turns to Generation Next with a mission: retrieve Illyana Rasputin, the sister Colossus believed dead, now a slave in Apocalypse’s Portland Core.

When Generation Next launches a daring raid on the Portland Core mine to free Illyana Rasputin from Apocalypse’s grip, they’re met with a twist: Husk and Vincente have already taken down the foreman, Quietus, and now wear his face. As the team moves in, a new threat emerges—Sugar Man, a villain with a sweetly sinister edge, and his eerie allies, the Undercloaks, who seem to know more about the mine’s secrets than they should.

In "It Only Hurts When I Sing," Generation Next launches a high-stakes rescue mission inside the Portland Core mine, where Colossus’ sister Illyana is held captive. As Husk and Vincente play the part of the mine’s foreman to deceive the ruthless Sugar Man, Mondo takes a shocking step to save Illyana—absorbing her into his own body. With Skin and Chamber captured and the threat of execution looming, Colossus must act before the mission collapses.
