Uncanny X-Men 2001 #[nn]

In "Absolute Progeny," a surge of a mysterious designer drug granting temporary mutant abilities sweeps through the streets, drawing the X-Men into a high-stakes chase that leads them back to a long-forgotten enemy. Written by Joe Casey and brought to life with striking, hyper-stylized art by Ashley Wood—whose bold pencils, inks, and colors define the issue’s electric look—this 2001 installment blends neon-lit tension with the familiar urgency of mutant survival. The cover, also by Ashley Wood, captures the issue’s intense, otherworldly edge.
