Uncanny X-Men: The Extremists

In 2007, Marvel’s Uncanny X-Men spun off into this one-shot by writer Ed Brubaker and artist Salvador Larroca, pitting the team against a new extremist threat. The issue explores the aftermath of a devastating event, pushing the X-Men to confront the limits of their mutant ideals. A compact, character-driven story from the acclaimed Brubaker/Larroca run, it’s a snapshot of the series’ darker, politically charged era.
