Black Sun: Banshee and Sunfire #3

In "Third Spell: Bare the Claws!", Wolverine and Iceman attempt a covert mission in Genosha, only to be ambushed by Banshee and Sunfire. As Polaris and Pilgrimm rush to join the fray, the battle takes a dark turn when Iceman and Polaris are overpowered—left with their souls stolen and two new Bloodstones forged. With the stakes rising and the line between hero and weapon blurring, Magik moves in with her Soulsword, taking their bodies as the fight escalates. Written by Chris Claremont and Roy Thomas, with dynamic art by Karl Waller and vivid colors by Tom Smith, this pivotal issue sees the stakes of the conflict reach a chilling new level. The cover by Vince Evans captures the intensity of the moment.
