Generation X #5
"Chapitre un : la fin" delivers a tense, emotionally charged chapter in Generation X’s journey, as the team struggles to survive adrift on a mysterious bio-organic platform in the open ocean, cut off from any sign of rescue. With Sean grappling with the painful memory of Emma’s apparent death—only to be stunned by her surprising return—and Jubilee desperately trying to break free from Bastion’s grasp, the group faces both physical hardship and psychological strain. Written by Scott Lobdell and illustrated by Joe Bennett, with inks by Joe Pimentel, colors by Marie Javins, and letters by Studio Vianney Jalin, the issue’s stark atmosphere is matched by Chris Bachalo’s haunting cover, rendered in inks by Al Vey.

Most of the Gen X kids are floating on a small bio-organic platform in the middle of the ocean with no land or rescue in sight. They try to endure the ravages of the sea and the sun without totally freaking out. Sean mourns the death of Emma (Black Tom forced him to kill her last issue) but is ecstatic to learn that she merely faked her demise. They try to figure out where the kids have gone. Jubilee tries to escape from Bastion and Operation Zero Tolerance but fails.
