“When the Carnival Comes To Town”

In "When the Carnival Comes To Town," Wolfsbane confronts a haunting memory during a Danger Room session when a holographic carnival triggers a traumatic flashback to a past mission in Kentucky—where the New Mutants once stumbled upon a seemingly innocent carnival that was, in truth, a Skrull slaver operation. Written by Dwight Zimmerman and illustrated by Bob Hall, with Rob Liefeld's striking cover, this 1990 issue blends psychological tension with the lingering shadows of a mission that never truly ended.
