“Mettle”

This March 1983 spotlight issue puts Cosmic Boy front and center — literally — his anguished, sweat-streaked face filling the cover as dark-gloved hands press against a cracking barrier that threatens to shatter around him. The raw tension Keith Giffen and Larry Mahlstedt pack into that single image makes "Mettle" feel like a story testing one Legion founder to his absolute limits. Fans of the Legion looking for a character-driven issue have a compelling reason to seek this one out.
