The New Mutants #41

In "Way of the Warrior," Mirage returns home for a break, reconnecting with her longtime friend and rival Pat Roberts—only for a sudden car accident to thrust her into a harrowing confrontation with death. As Pat succumbs to their injuries, Mirage must confront grief and begin the difficult journey of healing, all while navigating the emotional weight of loss. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Jackson Guice, with inks by Terry Austin and colors by Glynis Oliver, this poignant issue features a striking cover by Barry Windsor-Smith.
