“Collector's Item”

In "Collector's Item," writer Mark Waid and artist Andy Kubert deliver a tense, mind-bending X-Men tale where Mr. Sinister captures Bishop and probes his memories—only to find that the past he's unraveling might not be his own. As Dark Beast manipulates Gambit to disrupt the experiment, the line between history and deception blurs, and the truth about a captured mutant's identity begins to unravel. The issue’s striking cover by Andy Kubert and Cam Smith perfectly captures the eerie, high-stakes atmosphere of a mystery that’s as much about identity as it is about survival.
