The New Mutants #24

In "The Hollow Heart," the New Mutants face a crisis that tests their bonds and resolve as Cannonball and Mirage share troubling news with Professor X. With Magneto offering a rare apology to Aleytys and Sunspot and Wolfsbane turning to Father Bowen for help, the team scrambles to respond when Wolfsbane rescues Colossus—only for Magik to attempt a desperate magical restoration. Cloak and Dagger step in, their presence adding a new layer of urgency. Written by Chris Claremont and rendered in Bill Sienkiewicz’s signature, haunting style—both in story and on the cover—this 1985 issue captures the team at a pivotal, emotionally charged moment.
