X-FORCE ISSUE 26 PAGE 12 BASTION ATTACKS

Hope is back from the future, and the X-Men are attempting to protect her from Bastion cornered in the alleyway, Rogue heads towards Bastion. As Bastion fires, Nightcrawler jumps in the way to protect Hope, but just a few short pages later, that blast to the shoulder is going to be the least of his worries (spoiler alert). This whole issue came up on Heritage a while back and I wasn’t watching it closely enough and it got away But as luck would have it, the person that bought it divvied out most of the pages and I was able to pick this one up, reasonably at Heritage. This was a very run and Mike’s pencils are so clean.
