The Uncanny X-Men #493

Feb 2008 · Marvel · 2.99 USD; 3.05 CAD
“Messiah Complex Chapter Six”

In "Messiah Complex Chapter Six," the X-Men are pushed to their limits as Sentinel Squad ONE—infected by Cassandra Nova’s deadly nano-Sentinels—launch a relentless assault. With the mansion under siege and their allies scattered, Cyclops makes a bold move: he tasks Wolverine with forming a new X-Force to hunt down Cable and the mutant baby at any cost. Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated by Billy Tan, with inks by Danny Miki and Allen Martinez, and colors by Frank D'Armata, this pivotal issue sees the team at a breaking point—driven by desperation, not strategy. The cover by David Finch and Danny Miki captures the tension in a striking, high-stakes moment.
