In "Live Free or Die!", the X-Men battle a terrifying infection spreading across a world overrun by the Brood, fighting to reclaim their minds and stop the Brood Queen’s reign. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Paul Smith, with inks by Bob Wiacek and colors by Glynis Wein, this pivotal 1983 issue sees the team confronting both alien invasion and their own unraveling as the Brood’s influence takes hold. The cover by Paul Smith captures the intensity of the struggle, a striking image of the X-Men in the thick of a desperate fight.
