COMICS TIME

Uncanny X-Men #271

As the international dispute over Genosha escalates, the island remains defiant despite economic and diplomatic sanctions imposed by the United States. While the government insists that the captured mutants must answer for their alleged crimes, Rictor and Boom-Boom attempt to reach the American embassy, hoping to escape the authorities. Their journey ends abruptly when a Magistrate patrol discovers them, but an unexpected barrage of fireworks gives Wolverine, Psylocke and Jubilee the opportunity to intervene.
