The Uncanny X-Men #533
In "Quarantine: Part 4," Cyclops confronts the shocking truth behind the HX-N1 flu outbreak that's trapped Utopia’s mutant population, uncovering Lobe’s role in the crisis and his Sublime Corporation’s dangerous new drug—one that lets ordinary humans temporarily wield X-Men powers. Angel’s team races to infiltrate the drug’s high-stakes investor unveiling, hoping to disrupt the scheme and find a cure, all while navigating a world eager to buy the myth of the X-Men at any price. Written by Matt Fraction and Kieron Gillen, with dynamic art by Greg Land and cover by Greg Land, this issue delivers tense stakes and sharp social commentary in a story that’s as much about exploitation as it is about power.
