“Father's Day!”

In "Father's Day!", the New Mutants face a terrifying turn as S'ym, now twisted by the Transmode virus, confronts Magik, forcing her to seek help from Professor Xavier. With the team scattered and the threat mounting, Cypher uncovers a crucial clue to stopping Magus, while Warlock makes a surprising declaration that redefines his bond with Xavier. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Jackson Guice, with inks by John Beatty and colors by Glynis Oliver, this pivotal issue blends emotional stakes with high-octane action. The cover by Rick Leonardi and Dan Green captures the intensity of the moment, making it a standout in the series.
