X-Men: Longshot #[nn]
In "A Man Without A Past," Longshot—once a mystery even to himself—finds himself at the center of a media storm after a high-profile diamond heist leaves his face splashed across every news feed. As he drifts through New York, forming uneasy alliances with a street-smart group of kids and evading heroes like She-Hulk and Spider-Man, a single touch on a gun sparks fleeting, haunting memories of a forgotten past. With Arthur Adams' dynamic art bringing every tense moment to life, this 2008 issue from writer Ann Nocenti and cover by Adams himself delivers a gritty, character-driven mystery that pulls Longshot deeper into a world where his origins may be more dangerous than he ever imagined.
