About the series
In 1985, Marvel paired Chris Claremont and Paul Smith for a brisk two-issue crossover that united the X-Men with Canada's super-team, Alpha Flight. The story pits Charles Xavier's students—including Cyclops, Colossus, and Rogue—against a threat involving Aurora and the shaman Elizabeth Twoyoungmen, testing the fragile alliance between the two mutant teams. This compact series showcases Claremont's signature character-driven interplay and Smith's clean, expressive art, offering a neat snapshot of Marvel's expanding mutant universe during the Bronze Age.
