In "The Fate of the Phoenix!", the X-Men find themselves caught in a deadly political storm when Lilandra brings them to her base to face judgment for Jean Grey’s actions. With the Phoenix Force seemingly purged but still a threat, Professor Xavier demands a trial by combat, leading to a brutal clash between the X-Men and the Imperial Guard on the Blue Area of the Moon. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated with fierce precision by John Byrne, with inks by Terry Austin and lettering by Tom Orzechowski, this pivotal issue sees Jean Grey make a final, heart-wrenching choice—cover by Byrne and Austin.

17 pp · Superhero

In "Better Red Than Ronin!", Red Ronin storms into New York City, drawing the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. led by Nick Fury aboard the relic Behemoth helicarrier—once used in the fight against Godzilla. When conventional attacks fail, Fury channels the Behemoth’s power into Iron Man, who electrifies the Hudson River to bring down the rogue robot. But with its pilot unconscious, Red Ronin awakens on its own, and its rampage continues.
