"GHOST BOX," PART 2

The superstar team of Warren Ellis and Simone Bianchi take the X-Men to the "Second Stage"!

"Messiah Complex" pulled the X-Men team together, "Divided We Stand" tore them apart.  Now the X-Men are back to business -- with a new look, a new base of operations, and a mystery to solve that will take them into previously uncharted territory and test them to their core.  It all starts on a spaceship hovering 300 hundred feet above the twisted wreckage of Chaparanga Beach.  Its sole inhabitant: the mysterious Subject X.  Five minutes -- just five minutes is all he needs, all he's asking for. Can the X-Men afford to give it to him?
