☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "When Mutants Clash!", Cyclops breaks free from Magneto’s clutches and sets out to find the rest of the X-Men—only to run into Quicksilver in a tense, lightning-fast showdown. Written by Gary Friedrich and brought to life by Don Heck’s dynamic art and Werner Roth’s bold inks, this 1968 classic captures the escalating clash between mutant ideologies, with John Tartaglione’s lettering and Sam Rosen’s crisp dialogue adding to the urgency. The cover by John Buscema and George Tuska perfectly frames the chaos of the moment, a 12-cent snapshot of mutant conflict in its early days.
In "When Mutants Clash!", Cyclops breaks free from Magneto's clutches and sets out to rescue his captured teammates—only to run into Quicksilver in a high-speed clash of wills. With tension crackling between the two mutants, the fight becomes a test of speed, strategy, and the fragile line between enemy and ally.
And the Mob Cried...Vengeance! finds Jake and Charlie entangled in a high-stakes prison break, where a man known only as the Ice Man refuses to flee, clinging to his belief in justice even as danger closes in. With time running out and loyalty tested, the two must decide how far they’ll go to protect someone who may not be guilty—but who certainly isn’t safe.
