As Earth’s heroes gather for a memorial, Magneto pushes Krakoan law and the Quiet Council to the brink. But something is wrong. Something very small. The truth is deeply hidden, but it won’t stay buried for long. Who lurks in the shadows, and what do they know? Justice will be served, the guilty will be judged and the victims will be avenged!
