But in the Marvel Universe, most of them live on Monster Island. Or, at least, they did. A mysterious exodus is under way; monsters spilling onto nearby shores - with catastrophic results - and it falls upon a small group of X-Men to both save the population from destruction and solve an imposing riddle: What are monsters afraid of? Get ready for a widescreen blockbuster filled with classic monsters, heart-stopping revelations and over-the-top action! Collecting ASTONISHING X-MEN (2004) #36-37, #39 and #41.
