X-Men Classics Starring the X-Men #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"New Splash Page" kicks off a tense, pivotal chapter in the X-Men's saga with a striking blend of personal crisis and global threat. When Lorna is attacked by a Sentinel and Alex struggles with his destabilizing powers, the X-Men find themselves at odds with Egyptian authorities and hunted by a revived Sentinel program—sparked by the son of Bolivar Trask. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Neal Adams and Tom Palmer, this 1983 classic features a cover by Mike Zeck and Tom Palmer that captures the urgency of the moment.
When Lorna is ambushed by a Sentinel in Egypt, the X-Men are thrown into chaos as Alex struggles with his newly unleashed, uncontrollable powers. With the Living Pharaoh demanding their arrest for destroying a sacred temple, the team fractures—Alex vanishes into the conflict, and Iceman and Beast return to the States after catching a chilling broadcast: the son of Bolivar Trask declares the Sentinels are back, hunting mutants once more.
In "Mission: Murder!", the X-Men face a terrifying new threat as Sentinels hunt down mutants worldwide, capturing Iceman and forcing him into a brutal showdown at Trask's base. With Bobby sacrificing himself to save Beast, Angel leads a desperate rescue mission back to the U.S., while Iceman confronts his brother Havok and Lorna in a high-stakes confrontation. As the Sentinels' true allegiance begins to unravel, a shocking revelation about their master shakes the foundation of the entire operation.
In "Do or Die, Baby," the fragile alliance between mutant and human is shattered when Larry Trask’s own mutant status is exposed, causing the Sentinels—once his loyal enforcers—to turn on him. With mutants imprisoned and facing execution, Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Beast launch a desperate mission to break through the Sentinel stronghold and save their captured friends.
