The Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 1 #516 (Marvel Comics 2009) Greg Land Regular

The Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 1, #516 (Marvel Comics, 2009) delivers a pivotal Nation X tie-in that deepens the post-M Day era. Magneto arrives on Utopia hoping to make peace with the X‑Men, only to confront a wary Charles Xavier. In this untitled story, Matt Fraction crafts a tense confrontation as Magneto explains his space voyage with the High Evolutionary in search of a solution to the mutant predicament—and concludes that hope may be in short supply for their kind.

On the island, Cyclops learns from Maggie that the mutant baby Hope Summers remains alive and is traveling through time with Cable, weaving a time-bending thread into the ongoing Nation X storyline. The threat level rises as Scalphunter is hired by Lobe to fly a plane loaded with Predator X monsters toward Utopia, setting the stage for dramatic clashes and tough choices for the team.
