In "Greater Love Hath No X-Man...", the X-Men face off against the deadly X-Sentinels in a desperate mission to rescue their captured teammates. With the space station crumbling and time running out, Jean Grey must pilot the shuttle back to Earth—knowing the immense psychic strain may cost her everything. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life by Dave Cockrum and James Sherman, with dynamic inks by Cockrum and Grainger, and vibrant colors by Wrightson and Becton, this emotionally charged issue stands as a defining moment in the X-Men’s saga. Arthur Adams' striking cover captures the stakes with haunting precision.
