Uncanny X-Men: The Heroic Age (HA) #1
Uncanny X-Men: The Heroic Age #1 (2010) kicks off a new chapter with Matt Fraction writing a story that finds Scott Summers in the Savage Land, seeking solace after Hank’s departure, only to be pulled back into action by Steve Rogers’ call for the X-Men to embrace their role as public heroes. Meanwhile, Hank crosses paths with Molly Hayes at the La Brea tar pits, and Hope undergoes further scrutiny from Reed Richards as questions about her well-being linger. The issue’s dynamic art team—Whilce Portacio, Steve Sanders, and Jamie McKelvie—brings the emotional and high-stakes moments to life, with Mark Brooks’ cover capturing the team’s shifting identity.

After the events of "Second Coming", Hank leaves the X-Men despite Scott's pleas. Scott goes to the Savage Land to hunt dinosaurs and unwind, but Steve Rogers tracks him down and suggests that the X-Men should "come into the light" as heroes who saved San Francisco. Hank runs into Molly Hayes when his girlfriend fails to meet him at the La Brea tar pits and ends up trying to teach her extinction without being too depressing about it. Hope has more tests run on her by Reed Richards who is concerned about the effects of time travel on her health. Scott and Hope try to figure out what to do next.
