Oct 1986 · Marvel · 0.75 USD; 0.40 GBP; 0.95 CAD
“Runaway!”

In "Runaway!", the New Mutants are pulled to Muir Isle when Magik teleports them there, where Jack Wayne has taken over as Legion's dominant personality. As Rahne reunites with Reverend Craig, the team races to restore Legion's fractured mind—while Mirage begins to sense a troubling shift in Wolfsbane's demeanor. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life by Jackson Guice’s dynamic art, with inks by Kyle Baker and colors by Elaine Lee, this pivotal issue captures the group’s growing tension and emotional stakes. The cover, a striking piece by Barry Windsor-Smith, sets the tone with its intense, foreboding imagery.
