New X-Men #6

In "Choosing Sides: Conclusion Battle Lines," the tension between the New Mutants and the Hellions reaches a breaking point when Jay’s betrayal sets off a chain reaction. With trust shattered and allegiances tested, the teams clash—only for the X-Men to intervene and restore order. This pivotal issue marks the moment Kevin chooses his path, Jay makes a new start, and new leadership takes shape among the students. Written by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir, with art by Michael Ryan and Rick Ketcham, and a cover by Randy Green and Rick Ketcham, it’s a defining moment in the evolving dynamics of the school.
