New X-Men #14

In "Dance Hall Days," the New X-Men buzz with nervous energy as the school dance approaches, turning the usual teen drama into a powder keg of crushes, secrets, and shifting alliances. With emotions running high, Laurie’s unexpected use of her pheromone powers throws a wrench into the evening, while the Blob’s visit to Kevin’s therapist—unbeknownst to anyone, Laurie’s estranged father—hints at deeper connections beneath the surface. Written by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir, with art by Paco Medina and inks by Juan Vlasco, this 2005 issue captures the messy, heartfelt chaos of teenage life at the Xavier Institute, all under Michael Ryan’s striking cover.
