Stories

The Y-Men Part 1: Outnumbered · Young X-Men · 22 pages
Ink storms off after being told he's not a mutant. The rest of the team gets information from the office of his tattoo artist, Leon Nunez. They go after the fugitive Rodriguez brothers, but wind up in trouble as there are a lot more of the "Y-Men", as the tattooed gang dubs themselves, than they expected. Meanwhile, a girl we haven't seen before but who is wearing an X-Men costume tells Ink his team is in trouble, and says her name is Cipher.

Publisher’s description

Discover the secret origin of Ink. The bad-boy of the Young X-Men has been shrouded in mystery, but that ends here, and the truth will shake the team of young mutants.
