“Dawn of a New Day?”

In "Dawn of a New Day?", the fate of the Captain Britain Corps hangs in the balance as Captain Britain and Albion clash with the transformed Prime Fury, aided only by Blink’s timely intervention. With Roma on the brink of death, her memories pass to Sage, while Psylocke holds off Merlyn long enough to turn the tide. As the team prepares for a new era, Opal names Albion to lead the rebirth of the Corps, and at Roma’s memorial, the members part ways—each stepping into an uncertain future. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life by Juan Santacruz, Raúl Fernández, Rob Ro, and Simon Bowland, with a striking cover by Jelena Kevic-Djurdjevic.
