X-Factor Epic Collection #9

While Moira MacTaggert and Professor X work to unravel the threat of the Phalanx emerging from Mont St. Francis, Douglock leads Forge, Wolfsbane, and Cannonball to Italy—where they uncover a hidden breeding ground that could change the course of the war. The hunt for answers brings them face to face with the Phalanx’s chilling reach, as allies from X-Factor, X-Force, and Excalibur converge in a desperate race to stop the invasion before it’s too late.

In "Life Signs Part Three: The Light of a Tainted Dawn," the X-Family rallies around the Babel Spire, racing against time to stop the Phalanx from summoning their hive-mind from the stars. With Havok, Cannonball, and Nightcrawler at the front lines, and allies like Polaris, Shatterstar, and Kitty Pryde holding the line, the fate of Earth hangs in the balance as the line between salvation and extinction flickers in the dark.
