In "The Torch Is Passed...!", the X-Men gather for Professor X's funeral, stunned by the unexpected arrival of Quicksilver. As they return to the mansion, they receive a powerful, posthumous message from Xavier urging them to carry on his legacy—while Quicksilver wrestles with his loyalty, torn between the Avengers and his sister’s well-being. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by George Tuska with inks by John Tartaglione, the issue’s emotional weight is matched by its striking cover by John Buscema.
