Generation X #7

In "Nights and Bolts," the Gen X team faces a week of escalating chaos after Chamber’s accidental explosion damages the girl’s dorm—his secret shame only deepening when he can’t bring himself to confess, especially after Paige’s unexpected kiss. With Emma and Sean forced to share cramped quarters during repairs, Synch and Skin channel their energy into building a tree house for Artie and Leech in the Danger Grotto, while Banshee’s world tilts when a panicked call from Scotland claims his ancestral castle has vanished without a trace. Written by Scott Lobdell and illustrated by Roger Cruz, with Mark Buckingham on inks and Steve Buccellato and Electric Crayon handling colors, this 1995 issue captures the messy, heartfelt rhythm of growing up under pressure—cover by Chris Bachalo and Mark Buckingham.
