X-Men: Supernovas

In 2008, Marvel launched X-Men: Supernovas as a single-issue comic, offering a focused snapshot of the team during the post-"Decimation" era. Written by Mike Carey with art by Chris Bachalo, this story explores the fallout of the mutant population's drastic reduction, centering on a new generation of X-Men stepping into the spotlight. Though brief, the issue matters as a key transitional moment, bridging the quieter X-Men run of the time with the explosive conflicts to come.
