X-Men #3

In "Wüstensturm in Israel," the X-Men race against time to locate their missing teammates, unaware that Legion, the missing mutants, Magnus, and Xavier are trapped in a dangerous temporal rift in Israel—twenty years in the past. As Lilandra warns Xavier that Legion’s actions could unravel reality itself, a far more immediate threat stirs at home: Sabretooth escapes his confinement and faces off against Wolverine in a tense showdown. Written by Fabian Nicieza and Reinhard Schweizer, with dynamic art by Andy Kubert and Matt Ryan, this 1997 issue delivers high-stakes tension across timelines, all capped by a striking cover by Joe Madureira and Tim Townsend.
