Planète Comics #4
"Vanité" in Planète Comics #4 (1996) delivers a fiery clash of magic and mutation as Magik, trapped in Limbo with the New Mutants, faces a corrupted S'ym and his transmode-infected demons. Written by Louise Simonson and illustrated by Bret Blevins with inks by Al Williamson and colors by Glynis Oliver, the story unfolds with escalating tension as Illyana uncovers a shocking truth about her past—N'astirh's long-hidden role in her survival. The cover by Marc Silvestri and Dan Green captures the chaos of a portal opening, hinting at the demonic invasion to come.
In "Vanité," Mr. Sinister reflects on the fall of the X-Men as he sets in motion the events that will unleash Inferno. Storm grapples with the shocking news that Jean Grey might still be alive, a truth Wolverine has long known. With Scott away with X-Factor and Polaris under Malice’s control, Havok and Madelyne find themselves drawn together in the shadows of the mutant crisis.
In "Le feu aux poudres," Maddie and Havok share a quiet moment that quickly spirals into chaos when Maddie reaches out to N'astirh, leading them to Mr. Sinister’s orphanage in search of Nathan Christopher. As New York begins to unravel under a creeping demonic tide, the X-Men descend into the Morlock tunnels to confront the Marauders—seeking retribution for the Mutant Massacre.
In "Les limbes," Illyana (Magik) leads the New Mutants into the demonic realm of Limbo, only to find herself trapped when she can't reopen the portal home. With the team fighting off S'ym’s virus-ravaged demons, Illyana uncovers a shocking truth about her past—N'astirh, the very demon she once trusted, was the one who saved her from Belasco. As Magik defeats S'ym and transforms into the fiery Darkchilde, the final betrayal unfolds: N'astirh keeps the portal open, unleashing hordes of demons into Times Square.
In the midst of demonic chaos engulfing New York City, Cyclops and Jean race to find Nathan Christopher while X-Factor struggles to hold the line. With Candy gone and the city in flames, Archangel’s return brings both relief and tension to the fractured team.
