“Rise, Robot, Rise”

In "Rise, Robot, Rise," Professor X takes a bold step by welcoming the highly advanced Machine Man into the X-Men, testing whether a synthetic mind can truly belong among mutants. With Angel gone and the team reeling from change, this pivotal issue explores identity, trust, and what it means to be human—through the eyes of a robot learning to fight for something greater than code. Written by Jeff Parker and illustrated by Roger Cruz, with colors by Val Staples and letters by Nate Piekos, the cover by Cruz captures the moment the machine rises.
