X-Men #93

In "Hidden Lives Part 1: Open Wounds," Mystique finds herself hunted by unknown enemies, forcing her to seek help from Rogue in a tense, high-stakes alliance. Meanwhile, Nightcrawler crosses paths with Polaris at church, where she shares a haunting belief that Havok might still be alive—despite his apparent death in X-Factor #149. Written by Terry Kavanagh and Alan Davis, with art by Alan Davis and inks by Mark Farmer, this issue blends personal stakes with rising tension, all rendered in vivid colors by Glynis Oliver and sharp lettering by Richard Starkings and Comicraft’s Saida Temofonte. The cover, penciled by Alan Davis and inked by Mark Farmer, captures the moment’s intensity.
