The Uncanny X-Men #226

In "Go Tell the Spartans," the X-Men and the Freedom Force find themselves locked in a tense standoff, each holding the other's members captive—until the Adversary's chaos wave begins to unravel Dallas. With Storm and Forge returning from the Adversary's realm, Forge works to restore Storm's powers as the two teams are forced to set aside their differences and join forces. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated with striking intensity by Marc Silvestri, with inks by Dan Green and colors by Oliver and Bill Wray, this pivotal issue sees the cover by Marc Silvestri and Dan Green capturing the moment of uneasy alliance.
