The New Mutants #22

In "The Shadow Within," the uneasy dynamics among the New Mutants take a darker turn as Sunspot’s behavior grows increasingly erratic during training with Colossus. Meanwhile, Professor X and Moira delve into Warlock’s mysterious past, while Selene’s ties to the Hellfire Club deepen—just as Wolfsbane pens a haunting fairy tale where shadow consumes her beloved, and she takes vengeance. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life with striking, surreal art by Bill Sienkiewicz—both in story and on the cover—this 1984 issue pulses with psychological tension and eerie foreboding.
