Marvels Snapshots #[nn]
"Reunion" captures a quiet, poignant moment in the life of young Scott Summers, alone in a Nebraska orphanage and haunted by mysterious blackouts. As he follows the exploits of Manhattan's heroes through newsreels, a chance encounter with Mister Fantastic and Iron Man ignites a spark—though he still doesn’t understand his own emerging mutant abilities, he starts training with quiet determination, dreaming of one day joining the fight. Written by Jay Edidin and illustrated by Tom Reilly, with colors by Chris O'Halloran and letters by Tom Orzechowski, the issue is bookended by Alex Ross’s evocative cover art, which frames Scott’s solitary journey with a sense of quiet hope.
