“The Cure”

In "The Cure," Beast’s breakthrough offers hope to mutants worldwide—yet the antidote demands a terrible price: the first mutant to take it will die. As the X-Men unwind with a game of basketball, Colossus steps forward, facing the weight of a sacrifice that could change everything. Written by Scott Lobdell and Len Wein, with dynamic art by Salvador Larroca and cover by Larroca and Danny Miki, this pivotal issue explores the cost of salvation in a world still learning to trust.
