In Uncanny X-Men #488, the Eisner Nominated Ed Brubaker and superstar artist Salvador Larroca bring you the second chapter of “The Extremists,” the newest pulse-pounding storyline that sets the stage for this fall’s massive X-Men event. The X-Men have returned from their harrowing journey into space, and with the team still reeling from the events of that battle, now would be the worst time for another crisis—so it’s fortunate that Storm has made her return to the X-men! The Wakandian Queen is recruited to help her former teammates investigate a series of unprovoked outbreaks of violence amongst the Morlocks, a situation made even worse by the tragic events of M-Day.

Plus…Magneto’s return? After he was caught in a violent explosion in the pages of New Avengers, the militant mutant rights leader was thought to be dead, but Professor X isn’t convinced. His search continues for his former friend in the pages of Uncanny X-Men #488.

Aaron Stuave of BrokenFrontier.com says of Brubaker’s Uncanny X-Men, “if you’re not reading it, you’re missing out on something big.”

This issue also features the second part of the Endangered Species backup story by superstar writer Mike Carey (X-Men, Ultimate Fantastic Four) and acclaimed artist Mark Bagely (Ultimate Spider-Man), marking the penciller’s first new project since finishing his historic run on Ultimate Spider-Man. Follow the Beast as he races against the clock to try to save his species...with some unlikely allies. And don’t miss Uncanny X-Men: Ride & Fall Of The Shi’ar Empire HC, collecting Ed Brubaker’s first epic storyline and featuring the art of Young Gun artist Billy Tan.
