What If?: Event Horizon #[nn]
In *What If?: Event Horizon #nn*, writer David Hine and artist David Yardin explore a chilling alternate path where Vulcan’s secret second team survived—only to rise as Earth’s most celebrated hero, until the Silver Surfer returns Krakoa’s remains and forces the X-Men to confront a devastating truth. The revelation that Vulcan orchestrated the original team’s demise to hide his role in Jean Grey’s accidental death leads to his banishment to Krakoa, a living prison of his own making. Mark Brooks’ striking cover captures the weight of this moment, while the story’s emotional core is drawn with precision by Yardin and Justice, colored with haunting depth by Guru eFX.
