"Earthfall" kicks off with the Brood descending on Earth, seeding a new generation of super-powered humans to spread their infection. As the X-Men confront this alien threat, they’re forced to question not just the enemy’s motives, but the very nature of the people they’re fighting. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Marc Silvestri, with Dan Green’s inks, Glynis Oliver’s colors, and Tom Orzechowski’s letters, the issue’s cover by Ian Churchill and Al Vey captures the moment the invasion begins.
