The Adventures of the X-Men #2

Shouting "Mutiny!" right from the cover, this May 1996 Marvel series delivers immediate tension as two snarling, lightning-wreathed figures come nose-to-nose in a fierce standoff — one dark-haired and masked, the other blond with a gleaming blade pressed between them. At just 99 cents, The Adventures of the X-Men #2 offers accessible, animated-style storytelling, with cover pencils by Ben Herrera and inks by Mike Miller making that electric confrontation crackle with energy. "The Great Divide" promises exactly the kind of intra-team friction that keeps X-Men stories so compelling.
