“Frayed”

In "Frayed," Iceman and Hiro face off against the Cyburai during a tense moment on a date, pushing their courage and bond to the limit. As the battle unfolds, a heartbreaking sacrifice leaves lasting consequences, while Forge steps away from the X-Men just as Storm's response to his proposal hangs in the balance. Written by Scott Lobdell and brought to life by Whilce Portacio’s dynamic art and Scott Williams’ sharp inks, this 1992 issue captures a pivotal, emotional turning point in the X-Men’s story.
