Item Overview: Return to Genosha! Up for grabs is a solid, highly attractive collector's copy of Marvel's X-Tinction Agenda #4. Serving as the explosive finale to the 2015 Secret Wars Battleworld tie-in series, this issue features dynamic, action-packed cover art by David Nakayama showcasing Havok taking the fight directly to a monstrous, Warlock-infected Cameron Hodge. With excellent surface gloss and vibrant colors, this is a fantastic gap-filler for your modern X-Men collection.
Scene & Actor Profile: Writer Marc Guggenheim and artist Carmine Di Giandomenico bring this nostalgic 90s homage to a brutal close. The mutant-hating Cameron Hodge has been resurrected and merged with the techno-organic Phalanx virus. It is an all-out war in the streets of Genosha as Havok, Wolfsbane, Karma, and the remaining X-Men fight a desperate battle to save their nation from total assimilation. (Note: The back cover features a clean, dark advertisement for the animated series Moonbeam City).

Comprehensive Condition Details (Buy With Absolute Confidence):
As a fellow collector, I prioritize strict handling protocols.

Center/Gloss (Front): High surface gloss, smooth texture, and a brilliant color strike. The front cover is structurally very clean with zero major surface scuffing or handling smudges.
Back Cover Assessment: The solid black background of the Moonbeam City advertisement is remarkably clean for a dark cover, but does exhibit some very minor, standard edge wear/micro-chattering along the top and spine edges.
Spine Ticks: The bindery remains flat, but close inspection reveals 2 to 3 minor color-breaking handling dimples/stress ticks along the spine fold (visible in the angled light photos).
Interior / Hidden Flaws: Pages are firmly attached at staples. No visible signs of tape, trimming, color touch, or chemical cleaning. Interior features vibrant, full-color art. (Please note: The "Bonus Digital Edition" code advertised on the cover is sold as-is and is highly likely expired or previously redeemed).
