“God Spare the Child...”

"God Spare the Child..." marks a pivotal moment in the X-Men's journey with John Byrne and Chris Claremont reuniting on writing duties, delivering a story that deepens the team’s dynamic as they return to the mansion—only to find Professor X back and ready to lead once more. With Banshee remaining in Scotland alongside Moira, the X-Men set out to recruit a newly identified mutant, while the Hellfire Club makes a bold move to draw in the young Kitty Pryde. The issue’s sharp storytelling and standout art by Byrne, with inks by Terry Austin, bring a grounded intensity to the stakes, all framed by Bob Budiansky and Joe Rubinstein’s striking cover.
