“L'Essaim”

"L'Essaim" marks a pivotal moment in the Titans' early run, with Chris Claremont and John Byrne delivering a tense, character-driven story that explores the cost of power and the weight of the past. In this standout issue, Iron Fist faces off against Radion in a battle that hinges on a secret from his pre-transformation research—revealing that even the most unlikely knowledge can shape the outcome of a fight. The dynamic artwork by Byrne, with inks by Frank Chiaramonte and colors by Janice Cohen, brings the clash to life, while Jean Frisano’s cover captures the intensity of the confrontation.
