X-Men Saga #8
In "Désolation," the X-Men face off against Sauron—only to see him revert to his true form, Karl Lykos, as the Savage Land itself begins to shift into something darker. With Ka-Zar arriving to reveal the dangerous awakening of Garokk, Cyclops chooses to retreat, wary of endangering Professor Xavier. Trapped by sudden, encroaching ice, the team is cut off from the surface as the wilds of the Savage Land descend into an unknown transformation. Written by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, with art by Byrne and Kieron Dwyer, and colored by Petra Scotese, this issue features a striking cover by Arthur Adams and Terry Austin.
In "Désolation," the surviving X-Men—Cyclops, Phoenix, Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Banshee, Nightcrawler, Beast, and Lilandra—navigate a fractured world after a devastating loss, their journey leading them to the Savage Land and the enigmatic Fall People. As tensions rise and secrets stir, Cyclops grapples with echoes of his past and the mysterious return of Sauron, who now draws strength from Storm’s power.
In "L'Homme Pétrifié," the X-Men confront Sauron as his true identity as Karl Lykos is revealed, setting off a chain of revelations when Ka-Zar and Lykos recount the ancient awakening of Garokk by Zaladane. With the Savage Land crumbling around them and the path to the surface sealed by sudden ice, the team faces a crisis that tests their resolve—especially when Cyclops chooses to leave, fearing for Xavier’s safety.
