NYX #3: "Victor"

[alliterator]

"Well, one of the ways we first approached this was looking at, first and foremost, what characters did we love? If you only get one chance to write X-Men, you should write the things that you love and care about. And for us, that meant going deep and pulling, not necessarily the classics, but finding those characters that exist in the corners who haven't had their full story told. A character like Anole, who I've always loved since he was just a little green lad going up through his journey of not only discovering how to be a lizard man but how to be queer within that space is an incredible story. And yes, he's been trapped behind a bar, but what does that mean now that he's forced to get out of it? That's a rich story that we feel deserves to be told."
-- Collin Kelly

"'Victor' is a story of how community deals w/ tragedy & hate through sorrow and celebration."
-- Jackson Lanzing


Victor Borkowski, aka Anole, goes to a memorial service for a slain mutant alongside Kamala Khan, Sophie Cuckoo, David Alleyne, and Laura Kinney. They witness Caliban and another mutant there and, curious, he follows them...back to the Morlock tunnels.







Anole, Kamala, Sophie, and Laura manage to stop a group of Purifiers from killing the Morlocks.
