“La lumière et les ténèbres, prologue”

In "La lumière et les ténèbres, prologue," Heather’s training with Wolverine synthoids takes a sudden, mysterious turn when she’s pulled into a glowing glob and delivered to Department H, where her memories are manipulated to disorient her. Meanwhile, Sunfire’s health worsens as the Alphans prepare for a briefing that misrepresents Wolverine’s past—only for Puck to arrive, horrified, as they watch a video falsely showing Wolverine killing Madison Jefferies. Written by Steven T. Seagle and illustrated by Scott Clark, with inks by Chris Carlson and colors by Lee Ann Denham, this 1999 issue features a cover by Bernard Chang and Hilary Barta.
