Classic X-Men #2

Oct 1986 · Marvel · 1.00 USD; 1.25 CAD; 0.40 GBP
“The Doomsmith Scenario!; Death O'er Valhalla High!”

In "The Doomsmith Scenario!; Death O'er Valhalla High!", the original X-Men step aside, leaving Cyclops to guide a new generation of mutants at Valhalla High. When the villain Nefaria seizes control of the air force base, the X-Men must defend the school and prevent a full-scale attack—before the skies themselves turn against them. Written by Len Wein and Chris Claremont, with dynamic art by Dave Cockrum and inks by Bob McLeod and Sam Grainger, and a striking cover by Arthur Adams, this 1986 classic blends high-stakes action with the evolving legacy of the team.
