Marvel Special #7
"Resa dei conti" delivers a high-stakes X-Men adventure in a 1996 Marvel Italia special, where the team is captured by Magneto and narrowly escape thanks to Storm’s aid. With Magneto defeated and the volcano erupting, the X-Men are split into two groups—only to be left uncertain of each other’s fate. Written by Chris Claremont, John Byrne, Luca Scatasta, and Paolo Livorati, with art by John Byrne and inks by Terry Austin, this issue combines intense action with emotional tension, all rendered in bold colors by Andy Yanchus and sharp lettering by Andrea Accardi and Ficcara. The cover, penciled by Byrne and inked by Austin, captures the moment of crisis with dramatic flair.
In "Resa dei conti," the X-Men, trapped by Magneto and barely escaping his clutches with Storm's help, face a race against time as lava surges through the underground base. With their team split and no way to know if their teammates survived, the survivors must navigate the collapsing ruins—each unsure if they're the last ones left.
In "Desolazione," the X-Men split when a sudden shift strands them in Antarctica, forcing Beast and Phoenix to push through the frozen wastes toward Xavier, while the rest find themselves in the Wild Terra, welcomed by mysterious native inhabitants. The story unfolds with quiet tension and stark isolation, exploring how the team adapts when survival depends on trust and the unknown.
In "Visioni di morte," Sauron's victory over Storm lo rende più pericoloso che mai, assestando un colpo pesante ai X-Men. With their minds under siege and Sauron’s hypnotic powers turning their own thoughts against them, the team must fight not just for survival, but for the clarity to see through the deception.
In "Per salvare una terra selvaggia," Ka-Zar joins forces with the X-Men to confront a mysterious force driving the encroaching ice—led by a man who calls himself the God of the Sun. As the wilds of the Savage Land face an unnatural freeze, the heroes must uncover the truth behind the deity's claim before the land is lost forever.
In "Psico-guerra!", Storm struggles to control a violent storm while the X-Men are rescued by a ship bound for Japan. Meanwhile, Xavier shares with Lilandra the memory of his first encounter with Storm and the Shadow King.
When the X-Men arrive in Japan to find the city in flames, they’re met with suspicion by Sole Ardente, who sees them as attackers. Tensions flare until Misty Knight steps in to prevent a violent clash.
