Backpack Marvels: X-Men #2
In "Romances," Chris Claremont crafts a tense, emotionally charged chapter where Mystique exploits the Brotherhood's assault as a cover to infiltrate the X-Mansion, seeking to sway Rogue back to her side. Meanwhile, the Morlocks abduct Kitty, staging her death in a move that sends shockwaves through the school. John Romita Jr.'s dynamic art, with inks by Bob Wiacek and Brett Breeding, brings the drama to life, while Greg Horn’s cover captures the story’s simmering tension.
