New Mutants #9

In "The Ties That Bind 3 of 6," Rahne returns to Xavier’s School with a renewed spirit, her powers gone but her resolve intact, just as the team must track down a runaway mutant whose uncontrolled electricity threatens to spiral out of hand. Written by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir, with dynamic art by Carlo Barberi and inks by Wayne Faucher and Juan Vlasco, this 2004 issue captures the tension and heart of the New Mutants’ mission. The cover by Chris Bachalo brings the moment to life with sharp, expressive detail.
