X-Treme X-Men #36

In "Storm: The Arena Part 1 of 4," Storm steps into a shadowy world of underground combat when she travels to Japan to investigate rumors of mutant gladiatorial arenas—leading her into a dangerous game where she must fight not just for survival, but for answers. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Igor Kordey, with inks by Scott Hanna and colors by Transparency Digital, this issue marks a pivotal moment in Storm’s journey as she confronts a new kind of challenge far from the X-Men’s usual battles. The cover, by Salvador Larroca, captures the intensity of her plunge into the arena’s unknown.
