"EXOGENETIC," PART 2 of 5
The X-Men have fought towering, mutant-slaying robot Sentinels before. But never one quite like this. Never a Sentinel made of meat and bone, wearing the skin of one of their own deceased teammates, every technological aspect given a biological solution. And as the X-Men fight for their lives, they're left to wonder: What could this monstrosity have to do with THE BROOD?

There's trapped, and then there's trapped...like when you're marooned in the vacuum of space and every part of your ship is crawling with parasitic aliens who want to plant the eggs of their unborn at the base of your spine. There's screwed, and then there's screwed...like when Bishop, the mutant cop with a nuke in his arm, is set to blow everything to hell the minute he sees his target-the girl you've spent 15 years trying to protect. There's no time left. No food. No air.
