X-Men Saga #19
"Le retour de Cyclope !" marks a pivotal moment in the X-Men Saga, delivering a high-stakes team-up that brings together old allies and new tensions. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated with dynamic flair by Dave Cockrum—his final X-Men work before his passing—this 1995 issue sees Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Angel, and Nightcrawler infiltrating a temporary Castle Doom in upstate New York, while Havok, Polaris, and Iceman race to rescue hostages. With Victor von Doom holding the upper hand and Arcade unexpectedly playing guest rather than captive, the team faces a chilling test of loyalty and courage. The cover by Dave Cockrum and Joe Rubinstein captures the tension perfectly, a striking visual of Storm under Doom’s grasp.

Dr. Doom has captured Arcade. In response, Miss Locke kidnaps the X-Men's loved ones in order to compel them to help rescue her boss. Xavier calls in Havok, Polaris and Iceman to assist. Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Angel and Nightcrawler try to infiltrate Castle Doom (well, the temporary Castle Doom in upstate New York) while the rest head off to Murderworld. Storm is wined and dined by Victor while her comrades fight their way in. Arcade joins them, more as a guest than a prisoner. When Doom is attacked, he encases Storm in metal and then turns his attention on the rest of the team.
