X-Terminators #2

X-Terminators #2 was published by Marvel Comics in 1988 as part of a four-issue limited series that acted as a spin-off from the X-Factor title. The series was created to chronicle the adventures of the younger mutants—specifically the original New Mutants and X-Factor's wards—following the events of the Fall of the Mutants crossover. The narrative was designed to capture a more lighthearted, youthful tone while still integrating these characters into the broader, often darkening X-Men universe.

The issue features scripting by Louise Simonson and artwork by Jon Bogdanove, who worked to establish a distinct, slightly cartoonish aesthetic that contrasted with the grittier X-Men books of the era. The series was received as a functional bridge for the younger generation of mutants, and its design reflected a deliberate effort to lean into the 'teen adventure' trope of the late eighties, focusing on the team's dynamics and their efforts to manage their powers outside of formal training environments.
