The New Mutants #38

In "Aftermath!", the New Mutants grapple with the aftermath of their near-death and miraculous rebirth at the hands of the Beyonder, leaving them emotionally shattered. With Emma Frost offering Magneto her assistance and Empath turning on Tom and Sharon, the team’s unity is tested as Magneto relocates them to the Massachusetts Academy. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life by Rick Leonardi’s art, with inks by Bill Sienkiewicz and colors by Glynis Oliver, this pivotal issue captures the group’s fragile state in the wake of cosmic trauma. The cover by Arthur Adams perfectly encapsulates the tension and uncertainty of the moment.
