X-Men Milestones: Fatal Attractions #[nn]
In "For the Children!", the X-Men launch a desperate mission to Avalon, pushing their limits in a high-stakes battle that forces Magneto to confront the cost of his choices—when he strips Wolverine of his adamantium and Professor X cuts him off from his mind. With tensions at their peak and allies falling, Colossus makes a quiet, solemn decision to stay behind, guarding the fallen. Written by Fabian Nicieza and brought to life with powerful art by Andy Kubert, inks by Matt Ryan, and vivid colors by Joe Rosas, this pivotal issue sees the team at their most fractured—and their most determined. The cover by John Romita Jr. and Dan Green captures the intensity of the moment.
