Written by Ed Brisson with interior art and a cover by Jon Malin and Federico Blee, this issue is the fourth chapter of "The Newer Mutants" story arc. The narrative follows Cable as he continues his mission to hunt down a killer targeting the Externals, a powerful group of immortal mutants. In this installment, Cable and his team—consisting of X-23, Shatterstar, Longshot, Armor, and Doop—find themselves lured into a trap at an Ophrah Industries compound. The story reaches a turning point with the reveal of the villainous Gideon and the realization that the team may have been manipulated from the start, while the loyalties of the mutant Blink are called into question. This issue is noted by collectors for its return to the 1990s-style aesthetic of the original X-Force era, emphasizing heavy action and the resurgence of classic External characters like Selene and Gideon.
