X-Men: Second Coming

In 2010, Marvel launched X-Men: Second Coming, a two-issue series that serves as a prologue to the larger crossover event of the same name. Written by Chris Yost, Craig Kyle, and Matt Fraction, with art by David Finch and Terry Dodson, this limited series sets the stage for a pivotal moment in X-Men history, focusing on the fallout of the mutant race’s near-extinction and the return of a key figure. It’s a compact but essential chapter for fans of the franchise, bridging storylines and raising the stakes for the battles ahead.
