Wiz #32

In "L'inizio di una grande amicizia!", Stan Lee takes us back to a pivotal moment when NYPD officer Sean Cassidy finds himself caught in a tense standoff with the Dark Beast—his mission: to save a defiant 16-year-old Emma Frost, whose emerging psychic abilities make her both a target and a mystery. As the situation unfolds, the line between protector and prisoner blurs, and the seeds of an unlikely alliance begin to grow among a young team of emerging heroes.

In the wake of a betrayal that echoes through the past, the X-Men are taken by Hydra and Baron Strucker, who seek revenge for Xavier’s interference. With the team captured and the stakes rising, Alpha Flight must answer the call—led by Wolverine, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, and a determined Heather Hudson—while Colossus and Shadowcat face danger on a personal level. As the rescue unfolds, old alliances are tested and secrets from the past threaten to unravel everything.
