X-Men - La Collection Mutante #2
"Pitié pour nos faiblesses..." delivers a haunting, emotionally charged chapter in the X-Men saga, with Chris Claremont, John Byrne, and Geneviève Coulomb weaving a story that confronts the cost of power and redemption. John Byrne’s dynamic art, polished by Terry Austin’s inks and Glynis Wein’s evocative colors, brings to life the high-stakes clash between the X-Men and the Imperial Guard on the Blue Area of the Moon. Cover by John Byrne and Terry Austin captures the moment’s tension with striking precision.
In the wake of the X-Men’s return to the mansion, Professor X reclaims his role at the helm, sensing a new mutant presence in the shadows. As the team prepares to recruit her, the Hellfire Club moves swiftly—its Inner Circle, including a newly arrived White Queen, sets its sights on young Kitty Pryde, testing her loyalty before she even chooses a side.
When Kitty Pryde aids a group of X-Men in fleeing Emma Frost’s clutches, Scott Summers and Jean Grey race against the Hellfire Club to recruit Dazzler—Alison Blaire, the dazzling mutant of the disco age—before Shaw and his White Queen can claim her. As Jean battles lingering illusions from Mastermind’s influence, the fate of a new star hangs in the balance.
When Kitty Pryde leads Cyclops, Phoenix, and Nightcrawler to rescue the captured X-Men, the stakes rise as the White Queen’s plans unfold. With Phoenix’s power surging and the Hellfire Club’s forces closing in, the team must navigate betrayal and raw emotion. In the aftermath, Xavier extends an invitation to two new mutants—Dazzler declines, but Kitty Pryde steps forward, ready to join the fight.
In "On les nomme les Damnés !", the X-Men turn to Angel for guidance as they confront the growing threat of the Hellfire Club, only to be captured and broken by the inner circle’s cunning. With Jean Grey ensnared by Mastermind’s illusions and transformed into the Black Queen, Wolverine stands alone against the Club’s might, racing to save his teammates before the shadows claim them all.
In "Wolverine seul !", the X-Men are split apart as Cyclops leads a desperate stand against the Hellfire Club’s Inner Circle and their enigmatic new Black Queen, Jean Grey. With his teammates captured and the odds stacked, Wolverine must push through relentless enemies to reach them—alone, furious, and driven by instinct.
In "Trop tard, les héros !", the X-Men face off against the Hellfire Club in a desperate fight through their mansion after Jean snaps free from Mastermind’s manipulation. With tensions rising and the line between ally and enemy blurring, Jean’s struggle reaches a breaking point as the weight of her power and trauma threatens to consume her.
Jean Grey’s descent into the Dark Phoenix unleashes chaos as she turns on her former teammates, leaving the X-Men reeling and scrambling to stop her from reaching the stars—where she plans to unleash her fury on an entire system. With Professor X, Cyclops, Storm, and the others caught in the storm of her power, the line between hero and destroyer blurs in a battle that tests their bonds and their limits.
In "Enfant des ténèbres et des étoiles !", the return of Dark Phoenix shakes the X-Men to their core as Jean Grey confronts her former teammates in a battle that tests loyalty, memory, and identity. After a brutal clash with Cyclops, Storm, and the others, Xavier’s desperate intervention brings Jean back—only for the team to vanish mid-victory, swallowed by an unknown force.
In "Le destin du Phénix !", the X-Men find themselves at the mercy of Lilandra and the Imperial Guard after Jean Grey is accused of destroying a star system. With Professor X demanding a trial by combat, the fate of Jean—and the Phoenix Force—hangs in the balance as the X-Men face off against the Imperial Guard on the Blue Area of the Moon.
