X-Men Forever #20

In "Part 2: -- Can Also Set Us Free!", the X-Men stage a high-stakes rescue mission to pull Cortez from the Consortium's stronghold, only to face a brutal cost—Sabretooth loses a hand in the fight. As Beast warns him of possible burnout and permanent loss of regeneration, the dying Cortez reveals a shocking truth: Tony Stark is behind the Consortium. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life with bold visuals by Graham Nolan, Scott Koblish, and Guillem Mari, this issue deepens the mystery with a twist that redefines the team’s enemy. The cover by Tom Grummett and Cory Hamscher captures the tension in a single, striking image.
