    When the Gem of Cyttorak reappears, seeking to create a new avatar, none hear its call more than those who have previously housed the power of the unstoppable Juggernaut: Cain Marko and Colossus! But they aren’t the only ones hunting for the Gem. Can the X-Men find it before it’s too late? And can Colossus resist the temptation of Cyttorak’s power? “Unstoppable” takes on a whole new meaning as Cyttorak’s gem is finally located. The Juggernaut rises, and the X-Men fall! Has the Juggernaut returned? Is this the last stand of Colossus? Plus: A death in Storm’s family sends the X-Men to Africa! And as AXIS inverts the X-Men, Anole’s deepest fears are unleashed on the streets of New York City, and Nightcrawler and Mystique’s relationship reaches a boiling point!

      Supposed date for UXM #600 is now November 4th 2015.

      The final standard cover (with Puck on) is pictured, though he's now partially obscured.

      Whether Jeffries appears inside remains to be seen!

      Go with the poster. You can see Puck much better.

      My wallet has been screaming at me since they announced a release of expanded editions of all the A Nightmare On Elm Street scores ('cept the remake).

      Radical suggestion: Buy no more than one cover. Don't encourage them to keep grabbing our money without giving us any more content for it.

      "Cato used to assert that wise men profited more by fools than fools by wise men; for that wise men avoided the faults of fools, but that fools would not imitate the good examples of wise men."
      ~ Plutarch, Life of Marcus Cato
