X-Men Epic Collection #4

When Iceman attacks Spider-Man under the mistaken belief he’s threatening Gwen Stacy, the clash of powers turns personal—until a shared enemy forces the unlikely duo to put their differences aside. With J. Jonah Jameson breathing down their necks and a corrupt politician exploiting the chaos, the web-slinger and the ice-powered mutant must find common ground before the city’s next crisis hits.

In a desperate bid to reclaim his lost love, the Hulk escapes from Project Greenskin, only to misidentify Lorna Dane—her green hair mirroring Jarella’s—triggering a volatile clash with her powerful boyfriend, Havok. As Betty Ross and Glenn Talbot stumble upon Bruce Banner in the desert, his fevered ramblings reveal a heart torn between memory and reality, while political forces led by General Thunderbolt Ross and new figures like Senator Morton Clegstead and Congressman Roger Dutton begin to close in.

In "The Beast!", Hank McCoy leaves the X-Men to work at the mysterious Brand Corporation, seeking a new path beyond the team's mission. But when his experiments with his mutation spiral out of control, he’s transformed into a permanent, feral creature—forcing him to confront the cost of his ambition and the life he once knew.
