Synopsis

The Goblin Queen has dropped into her Madelyne Pryor form and, thinking that she is being attacked by X-Factor, the X-Men battle their old friends. The X-Men continue to grow more irrational and violent. Havok joins Maddie and N'astirh as they retire to the top of the Empire State Building and prepare to sacrifice Nathan Christopher to open Limbo. The X-Men and X-Factor finally get their act together and combine forces to battle and destroy N'astirh. Unfortunately, the Goblin Queen stands revealed as the real power of Inferno as she captures Jean Grey and continues her sinister plot.
