UNCANNY X-MEN #242 (1989) 1ST MEETING WITH X-FACTOR INFERNO X-MEN '97 MARVEL VF+

Description: MARVEL COMICS Marvel Studios / Marvel AnimationX-MEN '97 Key IssueSeason One, Episode 3: "Fire Made Flesh"First Meeting: X-MEN and X-FACTOR The 1989 multi-title crossover event INFERNO encompassed over 14 different comics inside the X-Men universe, including three consecutive issues each of Uncanny X-Men (Issues #240, 241 and 242) and it's 1986 spin-off series, X-FACTOR (#36, 37, and 38), the story from one continuing into the other into the other. X-Factor #37 and the Giant-Sized Uncanny X-Men #242 represent the half-way point of INFERNO, the latter issue notably featuring the very first time the X-MEN encounter X-FACTOR. With the X-MEN under the magical sway of INFERNO, the two teams battle it out while THE GOBLIN QUEEN moves to sacrifice her young son NATHAN SUMMERS on an altar of evil. Disney's X-MEN '97 borrows elements from across the many issues of the comics' INFERNO for its single-episode adaptation, "Fire made Flesh," a direct reference to Madelyn Pryor, the Goblin Queen and person responsible for INFERNO's ignition. If you loved X-MEN '97, Uncanny X-Men #242 is a 'Must-Have' addition to your collection and INFERNO, required reading. With the story's far-reaching implications still being felt by the characters at its heart even today, INFERNO remains a significant part of the X-Men mythos, be it animated or illustrated. Give your collection what it deserves...today!
