The New Mutants #62

In "To Build a Fire," Magma is summoned home from the Massachusetts Academy, only to find herself stranded in Nova Roma after a crash with Empath, sent by Emma Frost to exploit the region’s mineral wealth. As they navigate the harsh terrain and unexpected challenges, Magma begins to see Empath in a new light—revealing a quiet, growing connection beneath the surface. Written by Louise Simonson and illustrated with striking detail by Jon J. Muth, with colors by Glynis Oliver and lettering by Tom Orzechowski, the cover by Jon J. Muth captures the isolation and tension of their journey.
