“Heaven Can Wait”

In "Heaven Can Wait," Exodus arrives on Avalon with a mysterious mutant, believing it heralds a new era—only for the newcomer to reveal a dark past as Holocaust from the Age of Apocalypse, turning on the Acolytes with deadly intent. With the situation spiraling, Voght calls in Cyclops and Jean to help quell the chaos, plunging the X-Men into a battle that tests their resolve and their understanding of fate. Written by Fabian Nicieza and illustrated by Paul Smith, with inks by Matt Ryan and colors by Kevin Somers and Digital Chameleon, this 1995 issue features a cover by Andy Kubert and Matthew Ryan.
