In *The Uncanny X-Men* #517, the X-Men face a terrifying new threat when Scalphunter delivers a plane full of Predator X monsters to Utopia, forcing the team into a desperate fight for survival. Written by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Greg Land, with inks by Jay Leisten and colors by Justin Ponsor, the issue captures the chaos and intensity of the battle as the Phoenix Force abruptly abandons the Cuckoo sisters, severing the team’s psychic connection at their most vulnerable moment. The cover, also by Greg Land, captures the moment of crisis with striking detail.
