X-Men Archives Featuring Captain Britain #6
In "The Candlelight Dialogues," Alan Moore and Alan Davis deliver a tense, emotionally charged chapter of the X-Men Archives Featuring Captain Britain series, where Captain Britain confronts Mad Jim Jaspers in a battle that transcends the physical realm. As the stakes rise across a fractured reality, Luna, Betsy, and the others face peril at the hands of the Beetles, while Saturnyne pushes Linda to confront her fear—only to uncover a deeper fracture in the game. The issue's stark, atmospheric art by Alan Davis, with coloring by Andy Seddon and lettering by Steve Craddock, heightens the drama, all anchored by a cover by Davis that captures the moment’s weight.
