The New Mutants #67

In "Promise," Cannonball makes a solemn vow to Magneto not to use his powers at Lila's concert—though the moment he keeps that promise becomes far more complicated when Lila is captured by Spyder's slaves. With Gosamyr stepping forward to aid the New Mutants in exchange for their help saving her family, the team faces a test of loyalty and restraint. Written by Louise Simonson and illustrated by Bret Blevins, this 1988 issue captures a pivotal moment in the New Mutants' journey, with Blevins' expressive art and Glynis Oliver's colors bringing emotional depth to the story. The cover by Bret Blevins perfectly frames the tension of the moment.
