Mutant X #3

The cover of this December 1998 issue throws readers right into the chaos — Mutant X lunges forward in his sleek blue-and-gold suit while a feral, claws-bared Wolverine is sent flying behind him, and Sabretooth and Wildchild crouch menacingly in the lower corner, ready to strike. The blurb "Savages from Another Universe… The Pack!" makes clear that these alternate-universe versions of familiar wild mutants are not here to make friends. Raney and Pepoy's linework bristles with energy, and Mackie's setup of one man against three savage powerhouses promises a genuinely tense third issue.
