Spidey #78
In "Esclaves des Fils des Etoiles !", the enigmatic Beyonder descends upon Earth, driven by a hunger for experience and knowledge. With writer Jim Shooter and art by Al Milgrom, Steve Leialoha, and Christie Scheele, this 1986 Spidey issue sees Captain America, Iron Man, the X-Men, and the New Mutants converge in Los Angeles after Professor X's urgent call—only to be thrown into chaos when the Beyonder manipulates events from the shadows, turning a scriptwriter into a weapon and summoning forces from beyond. Cover by John Byrne and Terry Austin captures the tension as heroes clash, identities blur, and the line between ally and threat vanishes.
In "Esclaves des Fils des Etoiles !", the X-Men return to the mansion after a brutal clash with Magneto, only to be summoned inside by Alex and Lorna. They’re stunned to learn Earth faces an imminent invasion by the alien Z'Nox—just as Professor X, long believed dead, reveals his return through a plan orchestrated by the real Xavier, exposing the truth behind Changeling’s deception.
In "Terre!", the enigmatic Beyonder descends on Earth seeking experience, triggering a chain reaction that unleashes chaos through a scriptwriter granted godlike power. As Captain America, Iron Man, the X-Men, and the New Mutants converge on Los Angeles, mistaken identities and sudden transformations plunge the heroes into confusion—Thundersword is wrongly targeted, Magik is consumed by darkness, and the New Mutants are ripped into Limbo. With the Beyonder now invisible and shadowing Cap, the line between ally and enemy blurs in a storm of power, perception, and escalating stakes.
