In "Slings & Arrows," Peter David delivers a tense, character-driven story as Jaime Madrox returns to confront the one man he never reabsorbed—John Maddox, a family man and pastor whose life has unraveled. With art by Valentine De Landro and inks by Pat Davidson, the issue builds quiet dread as Madrox seeks answers from a man of faith, and the weight of the past threatens to erupt in violence. The cover by David Yardin captures the moment’s ominous stillness.
