Never let a crossover get in the way of your ongoing story arc. Unbreakable X-Men continues the Penumbra story from Gail Simone’s Uncanny X-Men, the city of the dead that lay not far from the Louisiana X-Men’s home like so many Zombie N’awlins Morlocks.

X YEARS LATER … HOW IS AUNT MAY STILL ALIVE? For someone who started out as the frailest old woman in comics, May Parker sure has survived a lot. Terminal diseases. Foreclosure.

Three hardened warriors taking the fight to a former teammate gone mad with power. But it begs the…
