X-Men Adventures [III] #8

In "Savage Land, Savage Heart," the X-Men face a twisted return to their roots when Sauron, reborn as the human Karl Lykos, unleashes his fury in New York—draining Wolverine’s power before transforming back into his monstrous form. With Storm captured and seemingly turned against them, the team races to the Savage Land, only to confront a shocking twist: she’s under Sauron’s hypnotic sway, forcing her to fight her own allies. Written by Ralph Macchio and illustrated by Hector Collazo, with inks by Harry Candelario, colors by Matt Webb, and letters by Michael Higgins, this 1995 issue features a cover by Jeff Matsuda and Tim Townsend.
