Hasbro / Dark Avengers / Uncanny X-Men: Exodus

In 2010, Marvel brought Matt Fraction together with artists Mike Deodato Jr. and Terry Dodson for a single, explosive one-shot that threw the Uncanny X-Men into a confrontation with the Dark Avengers, with the villain Exodus pulling the strings. Published under the Hasbro banner, this issue is a tightly focused, high-stakes crossover that pits two of Marvel's most powerful mutant teams against Norman Osborn's dark mirror of the Avengers. It stands as a snapshot of the era's tangled alliances and a showcase for Fraction's sharp dialogue and the dynamic, cinematic art of Deodato and Dodson.
