X-Force #12

In "Suicide Leper: Part One," X-Force is thrown into chaos as the Leper Queen, under Oracle’s command, unleashes a devastating attack that kills 1,100 at an anti-mutant rally. With another massacre imminent, the team splits up to prevent further bloodshed—X-23 and Archangel caught in the crossfire of the next explosion while Beast races to complete the time-travel devices meant to send them into the future to aid Cable and Hope. Meanwhile, Rahne reunites with Hrimhari, the Asgardian wolf prince she once loved. Written by Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost, with all interior art by Clayton Crain and a cover by Crain, this 2009 issue blends high-stakes urgency with personal moments, all rendered in Crain’s striking, intense style.
