Stories

Ghost Box Part Three · 22 pages
Puzzled by the box they retrieved at Chapanga Beach, the X-Men call in Agent Brand. She tells them it's a Ghost Box, and that it's used for travel between parallel worlds. The team also finds out that the coordinates for "Tian" from the notebook they found match a spot in China known as the Dead Five Miles, in which nothing may be detected. They go there, and discover the floating retreat of a group of mutants who apparently died on M-Day.

Publisher’s description

Upon study of the Ghost Box technology left behind at the Subject X murder scene, the X-Men uncover a conflict between artificially created mutants and mutants from another reality!
