The plot may seem like familiar fare, but X-Men #94 would be the first regular issue of Marvel’s long-running title to feature the new team of Storm, Banshee, Wolverine, Thunderbird, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and founding member Cyclops. These characters would turn the struggling book into one of Marvel’s best-selling series, with their series debut becoming the first highly collectible issue of X-Men in several years. (In an interesting twist, future Marvel superstar Wolverine didn’t even rate getting featured on the cover.)
Although the new characters were introduced in Giant-Size X-Men #1, this is the first issue in the main book's run to feature this new team. The series had previously spent a long stint in reprint purgatory, and was close to cancellation before this issue revived the franchise. These characters remain the ones most closely associated with the X-Men franchise, and the addition of artist John Byrne into the mix later in the decade would send this title into the stratosphere. Any X-Men fan worth their salt needs to own this landmark book.
