X-Men vs. Apocalypse #2

In "Aftermath," the X-Men face a desperate stand against the Sentinels, with Machine Man caught in a deadly tug-of-war between his own programming and the hostile Sentinel AI. As the line between ally and enemy blurs, a shocking sacrifice forces a moment of clarity in the chaos. Written by Karl Bollers and illustrated by Joe Bennett, with inks by Bob Wiacek, colors by John Kalisz, and letters by Benchmark, the issue’s cover by Brett Booth and Sal Regla captures the intensity of the battle’s turning point.
