The Uncanny X-Men #258

Feb 1990 · Marvel · 1.00 USD; 1.25 CAD; 0.60 GBP
“Broken Chains”

In "Broken Chains," Psylocke attempts to reprogram Wolverine for The Hand, only to find her own mental conditioning unraveling in the process. As the X-Men regroup and Forge steps into the fray with the Muir Island team, the line between mind control and personal will grows dangerously thin. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life with dynamic art by Jim Lee and Scott Williams, this pivotal 1990 issue delivers a tense, character-driven clash of loyalty and identity, with a cover by Jim Lee and Scott Williams that captures the moment’s intensity.
