X-Factor #78

In "Playing with Fire!", X-Factor confronts the M.L.F. at a clinic where a doctor claims to detect and eliminate the mutation gene before birth. Written by Peter David and illustrated by Larry Stroman and Brandon Peterson, with inks by Al Milgrom and colors by Mike Thomas, this 1992 issue delivers tense moral stakes and high-risk action. The cover by Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti captures the escalating danger with sharp, dynamic detail.
