Excalibur #8

In "Saturday Night Fever Part 1 of 3," the fractured city of Hammer Bay becomes the unlikely stage for a fragile alliance as Xavier, Magneto, and the Genoshan mutants begin rebuilding—recruiting even their most dangerous prisoners, including Stripmine, the Appraiser, the Genoshan Magistrates, and the Dark Beast. When news reaches Magneto of chaos at Avengers Mansion, he rushes to rescue the Scarlet Witch, bringing her back to Genosha in a move that sets the stage for shifting loyalties and rising tensions. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Aaron Lopresti with inks by Greg Adams and Sean Parsons, the issue’s cover by Aaron Lopresti and Tim Townsend captures the uneasy energy of this pivotal moment.
