New X-men Vol.2: Imperial (Paperback) by Grant Morrison

THE WORLD IS CHANGING. Mutants will be called freaks. Genetic monstrosities. They will be mocked, feared, spat upon and accused...of stealing human jobs, eating human food, taking human partners. But they are emerging in the inner cities, in the suburbs, in the deserts and in the jungles. They will need teachers, people who can help them overcome their anger and show them how to use their strange gifts responsibly. THEY WILL NEED THE X-MEN! But as protesters lay siege to the Xavier Institute, mutant mentor Professor X lies in a coma...dying, trapped within the shattered form of his evil twin! Cassandra Nova inhabited Xavier's body and escaped to the stars in the wake of her initial encounter with the X-Men; now, the psionically empowered psychopath is returning to Earth -- possessed of the most powerful mutant mind on the planet, and with the might of the Shi'ar Imperium at her back!
