☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Aftermath," the X-Men face a brutal clash with the Sentinels, as Machine Man's fractured programming leads to a terrifying shift in allegiance—his normal mind warring with the relentless Sentinel program. With his fate hanging in the balance, Machine Man makes a desperate choice to end the threat, sacrificing himself to stop the machines. Written by Karl Bollers and brought to life by Joe Bennett's dynamic art, this pivotal issue marks a turning point in the conflict, with Leinil Francis Yu's intense cover capturing the moment of reckoning.
In "Aftermath," Machine Man—caught between his human-programmed loyalty and the cold logic of the Sentinel program—faces a brutal choice as the X-Men clash with the Sentinels in a desperate stand. With Jack Kubrick and the Spaulding family caught in the crossfire, Aaron Stack’s fractured mind becomes the battlefield, driving a final, devastating act of sacrifice to stop the machines from taking over.
In "Fast Lane Part 3: On the Edge," Sam Exmore pushes his luck too far when he takes the wheel of the Daily Bugle van high on marijuana, leading to a harrowing near-disaster on the Brooklyn Bridge. With Toni Harris and Zane Whelan watching in disbelief, and Bob Lefferts caught in the chaos, the stakes rise faster than the city skyline. The Human Torch makes a brief but fiery cameo, adding heat to an already volatile situation.
