☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1996 Marvel collection reprints early X-Men stories centered on the team's training sessions in the Danger Room, featuring encounters with the Hulk, Sentinels, and the reality-warping Mojo. Key characters include Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Rogue, and Longshot, with appearances by Spiral, Warlock, and the X-Cutioner. The volume captures the high-stakes, often dangerous simulations that defined the team's combat readiness during the era's storylines.
"A Fire in the Sky!" delivers a high-stakes X-Men showdown in a 1996 issue that brings together Iceman, Angel, and the Hulk in a chaotic clash with the Master Mold and a relentless Sentinel. Written by John Byrne and Roger Stern, with Byrne handling the art and Bob Layton on inks, this action-packed tale sees Angel racing to Gamma Base only to drag the Hulk into a fight that ends in explosive destruction. The cover by Alan Davis and Mark Farmer captures the intensity of the moment, making this a standout entry in the Danger Room Battle Archives.
In "The Evil That Is Cast...", Iceman finds himself crash-landing at Angel's apartment during a night out, only to be interrupted by a rogue Sentinel. With Master Mold hunting them across the skies, Angel races to Gamma Base, dragging the Hulk into a fight that spirals beyond control. As the station burns and the trio fights to survive, the line between ally and enemy blurs in the chaos.
In a high-stakes twist of fate, Mojo’s twisted games bring together the New Mutants, Captain Britain, and the Bratpack in a fight for survival, as Psylocke’s transformation and the capture of key allies force unexpected alliances. When Cypher merges with Warlock in a desperate bid to break Mojo’s hold, the line between hero and prisoner blurs — and one choice will define a new path for Psylocke.
In "The Gift Goodbye," the X-Men face off against the relentless X-Cutioner as he targets Tower and moves toward Mastermind, but the dying Mastermind’s final act unleashes a surreal dreamscape where Jean Grey, Bobby Drake, and Bishop confront versions of their deepest hopes and regrets—realities both familiar and uncanny.
