Astonishing X-Men MGC #1

In "Gifted [Chapter One]," Kitty Pryde arrives at the Xavier Mansion with a new role as a teacher, setting off a chain of tensions among the X-Men. Wolverine confronts Cyclops over his relationship with Emma Frost, while Cyclops pushes to reestablish the X-Men as a public superhero team. As tensions rise, Ord makes a bold move, taking hostages, and Dr. Rao shocks the world with her claim of a mutant gene cure—just as the team’s unity is tested like never before. Written by Joss Whedon and illustrated with striking precision by John Cassaday, with colors by Laura Martin and letters by Chris Eliopoulos, this issue’s cover by John Cassaday captures the storm brewing within the mansion.
