In "Power Play," Jean Grey grapples with the aftermath of losing her telepathic abilities in the frozen solitude of Alaska, while Rogue stands on the brink of a life-altering decision in New York—submitting to Dr. Agee’s procedure to erase her mutant powers for good. Just as she’s about to go through with it, Mystique intervenes, forcing Rogue to confront the cost of becoming human. Written by Joe Kelly and Steve Seagle, with dynamic art by Chris Bachalo and Ryan Benjamin, and vivid colors by Shannon Blanchard, this issue captures a pivotal moment of identity and sacrifice. The cover by Chris Bachalo and Tim Townsend sets the tone with a striking, emotionally charged image.
