Uncanny X-Men / Fantastic Four '98 #[nn]

"Thresholds" brings together the X-Men and the Fantastic Four in a tense, character-driven clash that begins when a disgruntled scientist stumbles upon the Psycho-Man’s emotion manipulator, setting off a chain of events that shatters a quiet night at the opera and interrupts Ben and Wolverine’s poker game. Written by Joe Casey and illustrated by Paul Pelletier with dynamic inks by Keith Champagne and others, the issue blends psychological tension with the signature energy of both teams, all rendered in vivid colors by Felix Serrano, Soto, Tom Smith, Gregg Schigiel, and Wilson Ramos. The cover by Melvin Rubi and Keith Champagne captures the moment’s escalating stakes with sharp, dramatic flair.
