“Alea Jacta Est !”

In *X-Men #1* (1992), a 27,000 FRF comic, Marv Wolfman and John Buscema launch a bold new era with "Alea Jacta Est!" as Mai guides Wolvie through Hong Kong, introducing him to her allies—only for Black Shadow to emerge and seize Wolvie’s arm in a sudden, chilling grip. Jim Lee and Scott Williams deliver a striking cover that captures the moment’s tension, setting the stage for a story where trust is tested and the stakes are already high.
