☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Morning After," Thor stands amid the wreckage of the Morlock tunnels, trying to shield the dying Angel from the Marauders' relentless assault. As the aftermath of the massacre settles, Thor grapples with a curse of brittle bones, while Balder reawakens Odin’s second Raven—only to face the grim toll of what’s been lost. With Kevin and Mick welcomed into Volstagg’s family and the tunnels cleansed by fire, the cost of survival is etched in silence and smoke. Written by Walter Simonson and illustrated by Sal Buscema, with inks by Sal Buscema, colors by Christie Scheele, and letters by John Workman, this pivotal issue features a cover by John Romita Jr. and Bob Wiacek.
In the wake of the Marauders’ brutal assault, the X-Men are scattered and reeling—Nightcrawler fights alone against a merciless mob, while Magneto faces a chilling offer from the Hellfire Club’s Inner Circle. With Malice using Dazzler as a vessel and chaos spreading through the streets, the mutants must confront not only the violence of their enemies but the fractures within their own ranks.
In the aftermath of a brutal battle, the X-Men return to the school, battered and grieving, as Magik brings Moira MacTaggert to help heal the wounded. With the New Mutants struggling to keep up, Karma’s siblings are taken, and the sinister Magus strikes — forcing Magik to teleport the team to safety before the danger escalates.
Thor returns to Midgard, seeking normalcy after the chaos of Asgard, only to be drawn into a darker mystery beneath the city. When he stumbles upon the Marauders slaughtering the former X-Man Angel in the Morlock tunnels, the peace he craved shatters—leaving him to confront a threat that reaches far beyond the underground.
In the smoldering ruins of the Morlock tunnels, Thor fights to shield the wounded Angel from the Marauders, his strength tested as Hela’s curse turns his bones to glass. Balder calls upon ancient magic to awaken Odin’s second raven, while Kevin and Mick find unexpected kinship among Volstagg’s kin. Amid the chaos, the X-Factor team and Asgardian warriors alike face the cost of battle in a night where fire meets fate.
In the aftermath of the Mutant Massacre, Wolverine pushes through the ruins of the Morlock tunnels, driven to retrieve the Healer for the wounded at the mansion. With Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde, and Colossus left critically injured and the tunnels emptied of life, the X-Men face a grim reckoning as the remnants of the massacre unfold.
In "Redemption!", X-Factor races to protect a wary group of Morlocks from the Marauders, but their efforts unravel when the refugees flee into the hands of the police. As tensions rise and personal stakes deepen, Boom Boom makes a pivotal choice to break free from the Vanisher, while Cyclops and Jean face a painful medical decision for Angel—whose wings may soon be lost.
