In "Countdown to Zero Part 2: Under the Mask," Maverick's uneasy alliance with Marrow's Gene Nation takes a deadly turn when Agent Zero intervenes—putting a bullet in Maverick's chest. Meanwhile, Chamber slips away to secretly board a transport bound for the infamous Neverland concentration camp, setting the stage for a tense and unpredictable escalation. Written by Frank Tieri and brought to life by Georges Jeanty’s dynamic art, with inks by Dexter Vines, Don Hillsman II, and Karl Story, and vibrant colors by Tom Chu's Color Dojo, this 2004 issue delivers high-stakes action and shadowy intrigue. The cover, penciled by Jeanty and inked by Vines, captures the moment’s intensity with sharp precision.
