X-Men: Die by the Sword #4

Feb 2008 · Marvel · 2.99 USD; 3.05 CAD
“When Is Born the Nightmare!”

In "When Is Born the Nightmare!", the X-Men and the Exiles converge at the Starlight Citadel in a desperate bid to stop Jaspers, but their efforts take a dark turn when Albion is transformed into the Prime Fury. As Dazzler clashes with Rouge-Mort and Longshot defends Roma, the stakes rise when Sage enters the fray—only to find Roma fatally wounded. Just as all seems lost, Captain Britain, fully recovered from his past injuries, makes his long-awaited return. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life by Cafu’s dynamic art, Norberto Fernandez’s inks, Wil Quintana’s colors, and Simon Bowland’s letters, this pivotal issue delivers high tension and emotional weight. The cover, by Jelena Kevic-Djurdjevic, captures the moment’s intensity with striking precision.
