Classic X-Men #28

In "Cry for the Children," Chris Claremont and John Byrne deliver a layered, character-driven issue where Wolverine pushes Colossus to confront his lingering doubts, while Xavier journeys to attend Lilandra's coronation. Jean's first meeting with Jason unfolds with quiet tension, Storm returns to her roots only to find her past repurposed as a drug den, and Wolverine’s path crosses with Mariko in New York. Meanwhile, Cyclops navigates a tentative date with Colleen, and the sinister Arcade begins plotting with Tom and the Juggernaut—setting the stage for chaos. John Byrne’s dynamic art, Terry Austin’s sharp inks, and Glynis Oliver’s vivid colors bring the emotional and action-packed moments to life, with Kieron Dwyer’s cover capturing the story’s high stakes.
