About the series
In this single-issue Marvel Comics one-shot from 1995, writer Jim Krueger and artist Karl Kerschl offer a quiet, character-driven prelude ahead of the "Age of Apocalypse" crossover. The story focuses on Professor X and Magneto in a moment of tense reflection, setting the stage for the alternate timeline to come. Though brief, it's a moody and atmospheric snapshot that deepens the emotional stakes of one of the X-Men's most famous sagas.
