The X-Men #17
In the wake of a brutal clash with the Sentinels, the X-Men are scattered—Hank, Bobby, and Scott hospitalized, with Iceman slipping into a coma. When Angel returns to the mansion to visit his parents, he’s ambushed by a shadowy intruder. As Xavier and Cyclops rush back to check on him, they too fall prey to an unseen threat. With Beast and Jean the last to arrive, the team is swiftly overwhelmed. And when Warren’s parents finally reach the mansion, they’re met not by their son—but by Magneto himself. A tense, gripping tale from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s early X-Men run, featuring bold art by Kirby and Jay Gavin, with inks by Dick Ayers and a cover by Kirby and Ayers.
