X-Men super-soldier Fantomex faces off with clone versions of himself in this thrilling Super Hero heist adventure from Marvel's Xavier's Institute
Former super-soldier and master thief, Fantomex, stumbles upon one of his clones, Cluster, breaking into museums to steal priceless artifacts. Outwitted and intrigued, Fantomex decides to beat Cluster at whatever game she's playing. But something is different about these artifacts: they've all been infused with nanotechnology, very similar to the kind that originally created Fantomex. And they aren't the only ones looking for them... Their other clone, Weapon XIII, is on the hunt too. The cat-and-mouse heists test their burglary skills and push the boundaries of how much they can trust one another. When it turns out that they're the pawns in an even deadlier game, all hell breaks loose - and these clones always play to win.

Reviews
"Triptych went well above my expectations. Fast paced action, heartfelt moments, funny moments, fabulous writing style, brilliant characters and characterizations and a snarky protagonist what isn't to love?" -- What You Tolkien About, on Marvel Xavier's Institute: Triptych
"The themes of self, identity and finding one's place resonate in the story, making it a quick and exciting read. Recommended for Marvel fans, super-hero fans, and just general action fans." -- Martin's View, on Marvel Xavier's Institute: Triptych
"I gave Triptych five stars. It had everything I have come to expect from this series of Marvel prose novels from Aconyte books." -- Chris L. Owens, on Marvel Xavier's Institute: Triptych
"This is something else, this is something a little special. It shows a human side to these characters, a vulnerability and complexity that is often left out of comics to make more room for explosions and fist fights. If you're after something a bit different, something that isn't just the standard comic book formula this is a book you're definitely going to want to read." -- Trans-Scribe, on Marvel Xavier's Institute: Triptych
