Spécial Strange #109
In "Au nom de Xavier," the X-Men stand at the edge of extinction, with Magneto leading the last resistance against Apocalypse’s reign. When Bishop arrives with a shocking truth—that this world is a fragile illusion born from Xavier’s death—and Blink and Sunfire report Apocalypse’s renewed purge through his enforcer Holocaust, the team braces for a mission with no return. Written by Scott Lobdell and brought to life by Joe Madureira’s dynamic art, with inks by Tim Townsend and Dan Green, and vibrant colors by Steve Buccellato and Digital Chameleon, this issue pulses with urgency. The cover by Chris Bachalo and Mark Buckingham captures the weight of the moment.

Apocalypse rules the world and Magneto and his X-Men are the last bastion of hope for a rapidly dying humanity. To complicate things, the stranger, Bishop, has arrived and told Magneto that this reality is false and solely due to the untimely death of Charles Xavier in the past. As the X-Men discuss this conundrum, Blink and Sunfire arrive at X-Mansion and tell their teammates that Apocalypse has once again begun culling human beings through his agent, Holocaust. The X-Men prepare to face Holocaust and bid their farewells, realizing that this mission is most likely of the suicide variety.
