El Asombroso Hombre Araña Presenta #154

In this pivotal 1991 issue, Kitty leads Scott, Jean, and Kurt to confront the White Queen, who holds the rest of the team captive. As Phoenix unleashes an astonishing display of power in the face of the White Queen’s threat, Professor Xavier extends an invitation to two new mutants—only one of whom accepts. Written by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, with art by Byrne and inks by Terry Austin, the issue captures a defining moment in the team’s evolution. The cover, by Steve Lightle, perfectly frames the tension and stakes of the confrontation.
