X-Men #61
"Le bon pasteur" marks a poignant chapter in the X-Men saga, written by Chris Claremont and Françoise Effosse-Roche, with Salvador Larroca’s evocative art bringing emotional depth to the story. As Professor X reflects on Moira’s legacy and the man who stole her from him, the team grapples with Cecilia’s struggle against Rave addiction, while Storm asks Gambit to spare Mystique and Wolverine teams up with Malicia to uncover secrets in Destiny’s journals. The issue’s powerful moments are rendered with care, and Greg Horn’s striking cover captures the tension in silhouette and shadow.
In the wake of Moira’s death, Professor X confronts painful memories tied to Joe MacTaggert and the past he can’t escape. As the X-Men rally around Cecilia to help her break free from her Rave addiction, tensions rise—especially when Storm asks Gambit to spare Mystique, and Wolverine teams up with Malicia to uncover secrets buried in Destiny’s journals.
In "Cérémonies," the X-Men gather for a quiet, reflective Christmas after recent tragedies, balancing warmth with lingering grief. Tornade, ever vigilant, quietly enlists the X-Treme X-Men to handle the sensitive task of managing Destiny’s journals.
