The New Mutants #9

In "Arena," the New Mutants are thrust into the mysterious city of Nova Roma, deep in the Amazon, where Amara’s father holds sway over a hidden society. With the boys forced to battle in a deadly arena and Wolfsbane unexpectedly revered as a divine figure, the team must navigate a dangerous political web without knowing who to trust. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life by Sal Buscema’s dynamic art, with Tom Mandrake’s inks, Glynis Wein’s colors, and Tom Orzechowski’s letters, the issue’s cover by Bob McLeod captures the tension and spectacle of this high-stakes encounter.
