X-Men Noir #2

In X-Men Noir #2, writer Fred Van Lente and artist Dennis Calero deliver a gritty, noir-infused twist on the X-Men mythos, as reporter-turned-hero Tom Halloway leads the team to the decaying Welfare Penitentiary—the crumbling fortress of his past and the birthplace of his crusade. With the hunt for Jean Grey’s killer intensifying, Tom and the X-Men race to rescue Anne-Marie, a young mutant with uncanny mimicry powers, from the police and the shadowy crime boss Unus, while Cyclops tracks down Logan, a dangerous boat captain with a lethal secret. The cover by Dennis Calero captures the issue’s hard-edged, rain-soaked atmosphere perfectly.
