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.
