Stories

Childhood's End Part 1 of 4 · 24 pages
It is M-Day and most of the kids at Xavier's wake up to learn they have lost their mutant abilities. Believing his powers to be gone, Kevin touches Laurie and withers her arm. With panic and mayhem rippling through the school, Emma and the Cuckoos use their telepathy to cause everyone to go to sleep so the mess can be sorted out. Two days later, a powerless Dani is asked to resign as all humans will soon be required to leave. Wolverine calls X-23 and asks her to come home and help. Two weeks later, Emma opens the front door and learns that Jay has had his wings amputated.

Publisher’s description

NEW CREATIVE TEAM! Red-hot X-23 writers Craig Kyle and Chris Yost and rising star Mark Brooks (ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL, AMAZING FANTASY) take the New X-Men in a bold new direction. Spinning directly out of House of M #8, the New X-Men deal with the changed world. Will X-23 join the team? Will the friendships persevere? Will the kids survive? No one is safe and not everyone will live through this incredible change in the status quo. Brace yourself, the rules have changed and the safety is off.
