The Uncanny X-Men #488
In "The Extremists Part Two," Storm, Warpath, and Hepzibah descend into the Morlock tunnels with Caliban, chasing clues about Leech—only to uncover a cryptic prophecy etched in the dark. Meanwhile, Xavier and Nightcrawler race against time to find Magneto, as the Morlocks unleash chaos on a subway car. Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated by Salvador Larroca, this tense, atmospheric chapter deepens the mystery with sharp pacing and haunting visuals, all rendered in striking color by Jason Keith and lettered by Virtual Calligraphy and Joe Caramagna. The cover, also by Larroca, captures the dread with a stark, shadowed image of the X-Men in the underground.
