The New Mutants #26

The New Mutants #26 (April 1984 cover date) is the pivotal second chapter of the foundational "Legion" storyline, seamlessly continuing Chris Claremont's intense psychic thriller and Bill Sienkiewicz’s legendary, expressionistic visual run.

The story, "Legion," plunges directly into the fracturing astral plane over Muir Island. Following the shocking revelation that David Haller is Charles Xavier’s son, the Professor, Moira, and Gabrielle Haller watch in horror as David’s untamed telekinetic powers drag the minds of Mirage (Dani Moonstar) and Sunspot (Roberto da Costa) into his shattered psyche. Xavier enters the boy’s mind to save them, discovering that David’s consciousness has split into fractured, war-torn sub-personalities. Within the psychic mindscape, they must navigate a hostile, surreal cityscape to rescue their teammates from David's dominant, vengeful persona—the telepathic entity known as Jemail Karami.
