“In Battle Joined!”

"In Battle Joined!" marks a landmark moment in Marvel history as the Avengers and X-Men clash in a high-stakes showdown on Magneto’s island fortress. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema and George Tuska, this 1968 classic pits the two teams against each other—only for their shared enemy to force an uneasy alliance. The cover by Buscema and Tuska captures the intensity of the clash, with the teams locked in combat before their fateful unity.
