Marvel Special #1
"La battaglia dell'Isola Muir" sees Xavier journey to England to reclaim his Blackbird, currently in use by Excalibur, as they race to the mysterious Isle Muir. There, they uncover a chilling truth: every inhabitant of the island is under the sinister control of the Shadow King. Written by Chris Claremont and Andrea Plazzi, with dynamic art by Paul Smith and inks by Hilary Barta, this 1994 Marvel Italia special features a striking cover by Jim Lee and Whilce Portacio.
In "La battaglia dell'Isola Muir," Xavier journeys to England to reclaim his Blackbird, currently in use by Excalibur, and together they fly to the mysterious Isle Muir—only to uncover that its entire population is under the dominion of the Shadow King.
In "Il malvagio," Colosso falls under the Re delle Ombre’s control and launches an attack on Xavier, who manages to break the mind control and free him. Meanwhile, at Muir Island, the Re continues his campaign to turn the X-Men, leaving Forge as the only one who might stand in his way.
In "Riunione burrascosa," Professor Xavier calls on X-Factor for a high-stakes mission to Isola Muir, where they must confront shadowy agents of the Re, including rogue X-Men. With danger escalating and the odds stacked against them, Mystica's unexpected arrival proves pivotal—though the full cost of her intervention remains uncertain.
In "Un passo indietro—Due avanti," the Re has seized control of Legion, Xavier’s son, and turns him against the X-Men in a brutal clash that pushes the team to their limits. With Xavier forced into a psychic battle in the astral plane, the stakes rise as the mind of a mutant legend faces an enemy born from his own legacy—though the outcome leaves Xavier’s body broken once more.
In "Fini e doveri," Charles Xavier ventures into the fractured mind of his son, Legione, searching for a way to awaken him—only to find himself lost in the chaos. With the help of X-Factor, he finally returns to reality, only to face a shocking new responsibility: leading fourteen X-Men.
