Dark X-Men

Paul Cornell and Leonard Kirk led this five-issue Marvel miniseries from 2010, which spun out of the "Dark Reign" era. The story focuses on Norman Osborn's team of mutant operatives, including the powerful X-Man and his loyal aide Victoria Hand, as they navigate the morally murky waters of sanctioned heroism. It's a compact, character-driven thriller that explores the tension between public perception and private loyalty within Osborn's dark mirror of the X-Men.
