The X-Men #110

Published by Marvel Comics in April 1978, The X-Men #110 arrived during the seminal run of writer Chris Claremont and artist John Byrne. This issue continues the aftermath of the team's return from space, focusing on the character development of the revamped roster that had become a runaway success since its 1975 revival. The story pits the X-Men against the hero-turned-antagonist Warhawk, reflecting the heightened tension and grounded personal stakes that became the hallmark of the Claremont and Byrne collaboration.

John Byrne's pencils, inked by Terry Austin, are frequently cited by historians as a high point in late seventies superhero aesthetics. The creative team aimed to balance explosive action sequences with the nuanced emotional lives of the students at Professor Xavier's school. Upon its release, the issue was well-received by readers for its clean, dynamic visual storytelling and its commitment to deepening the lore of the mutant struggle, solidifying the title's reputation as one of Marvel's most essential reads of the era.
