The X-Men head to deep space to combat the deadly parasitic alien race known as the Brood! Lord of the Brood! When the X-Men get a distress call from deep space, they find that the galaxy's Brood problem is not as solved as they'd thought! Rogue Brood factions have begun running wild (as fans of Captain Marvel may be aware)... and now it's up to the X-Men to get to the bottom of why! Back when their close friend Broo became the Brood King, he gained the ability to control the savage alien race that he was both a part of and so different from. Now he is experiencing his own nightmare scenario - the Brood are killing his friends, and there is nothing he can do to stop it! Collecting: X-Men (2021) 19-24
