Strange #5
"Le retour des Mauvais Mutants" marks a pivotal moment in the X-Men's journey, as Xavier's sudden loss of telepathic powers forces the team to navigate leadership without him. With Magneto manipulating events from the shadows—using the Toad to provoke chaos at an athletic event and then abducting Angel— the X-Men must confront the Brotherhood on Asteroid M in a high-stakes rescue mission. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby and Paul Reinman, the issue's bold visuals and tense pacing are perfectly framed by George Tuska’s cover pencils and Frank Giacoia’s inks.
