X-Man #28

Published in 1997, X-Man #28 is a notable entry in the long-running series centered on Nate Grey, an alternate-reality version of Cable created by Jeph Loeb and Steve Skroce. This specific issue arrived during the 'Onslaught' aftermath period, a transformative era for the X-Men franchise where the editorial team worked to redefine the status of characters displaced by the massive crossover event. The series was designed to showcase Nate Grey's immense psionic powers and his struggle to find a place in a timeline that was not originally his own.

The issue features cover art by Steve Skroce and interior work by the creative team of Terry Kavanagh and Roger Cruz. The narrative reflects the mid-nineties aesthetic of high-stakes mutant drama, focusing on character-driven conflict amidst the high-concept science fiction that defined the X-Men line at the time. It is remembered by collectors as a representative example of the post-Onslaught transitional period, capturing the specific visual and thematic tone of Marvel Comics during the late nineties.
