The Uncanny X-Men #225

Jan 1988 · Marvel · 0.75 USD; 0.95 CAD; 0.40 GBP
“False Dawn!”

In "False Dawn!", Colossus returns to the X-Men as the team arrives in Dallas searching for Storm. With Freedom Force arriving to stop them, the X-Men take shelter in Forge's penthouse—only to face Destiny's chilling prophecy that by dawn, everyone inside will be dead. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life by Marc Silvestri’s dynamic art and Dan Green’s sharp inks, this issue blends tense confrontation with looming dread, all under Glynis Oliver’s vivid colors and Tom Orzechowski’s precise lettering. The cover, also by Silvestri and Green, captures the moment’s intensity with striking detail.
