X-Factor Epic Collection #9

In "Shadowgames Part 1," X-Factor races against time as Moira and Xavier grapple with the Phalanx threat emerging from Mont St. Francis, while Douglock leads Forge, Rahne, and Cannonball to Italy—where they uncover a hidden breeding ground for the relentless alien force. Written by Fabian Nicieza and illustrated by Tony Daniel, with inks by Kevin Conrad, colors by Marie Javins, and letters by Chris Eliopoulos, this issue blends tense mystery with high-stakes action. The cover, by Jan Duursema and Al Milgrom, captures the team’s ominous journey into the heart of danger.
