True Believers: X-Men - Kitty Pryde & Emma Frost #1
"God Spare the Child..." kicks off a new chapter in the X-Men saga with a bold return to the mansion, where Professor X is back and the team is reassembled. As the X-Men prepare to recruit a mysterious new mutant, young Kitty Pryde finds herself at a crossroads—caught between the X-Men’s ideals and the tempting offer from the Hellfire Club. Written by the legendary duo of John Byrne and Chris Claremont, and illustrated with precision by Byrne and Terry Austin, this issue captures the emotional weight and high stakes of mutant destiny. The cover, also by Byrne and Austin, sets the tone with a striking, intimate portrait of Kitty in silhouette.
