“Condition Critical Part 2”

In "Condition Critical Part 2," Mike Carey and Chris Bachalo deliver a tense, pivotal chapter as Cable merges with the ancient Mummuddrai, unlocking cryptic truths about the alien Hecatomb and its unsettling origins. With the X-Men scattered in a desperate fight to stop the mind-stealing invasion, Cable’s connection to the Mummuddrai offers a chilling glimpse into the enemy’s past—without revealing how it might change the battle. The cover by Chris Bachalo and Tim Townsend captures the moment’s intensity, with bold lines and haunting detail.
