Generation X #1
The first issue of Generation X (1998) kicks off with a high-stakes flight home from St. Louis, where the team’s peace is shattered by the psychic fallout of Onslaught’s rampage in New York. When Emma’s mind begins to unravel under the strain, she makes a desperate, sudden decision—sending Banshee tumbling from the plane before using her telepathy to guide the rest of the group to a hidden sanctuary in Canada. Written by Scott Lobdell and illustrated by Chris Bachalo, with inks by Mark Buckingham and colors by Steve Buccellato, the issue captures the group’s panic and confusion as they grapple with Emma’s sudden authority. The cover, penciled by Bachalo and inked by Buckingham, perfectly captures the moment of chaos and flight.
In a high-stakes showdown hosted by Stan Lee as ringmaster, Skin faces off against the X-Cutioner, unaware that the man he's fighting is actually the boy he once was—Angelo Espinosa. The truth of Skin's identity hangs in the balance as the battle unfolds, but the past is never as simple as it seems.
In "null," the Gen X team is mid-flight home from St. Louis when Emma’s mind fractures under the psychic strain of Onslaught’s rampage in New York. Without warning, she forces Banshee to jump from the plane at 30,000 feet before telepathically guiding the rest of the kids to a hidden safehouse in Canada. Though shaken and furious over the sudden change of plans, the teens struggle to understand what’s happening—only to find themselves trapped in Emma’s unshakable mental grip.
