X-Men #1/1992

In the quiet aftermath of their return, the X-Men reunite at the mansion—only to find Professor X has come back from the shadows, ready to lead once more. As the team prepares to recruit a newly discovered mutant, a quiet moment in Scotland hints at deeper ties between Banshee and Moira, while the Hellfire Club makes its move on a young Kitty Pryde.

In a pulse-pounding twist of ambition and rivalry, Scott and Jean race against the Hellfire Club to recruit Dazzler, the dazzling mutant whose powers define a new era of mutant fame. As Jean grapples with lingering mind trips from Mastermind’s influence, Kitty works behind the scenes to free four X-Men from Emma Frost’s grasp—testing loyalty, timing, and the cost of freedom.
