The Uncanny X-Men #239
In "Vanities," Chris Claremont and Marc Silvestri deliver a tense, character-driven chapter in the X-Men saga, where Mr. Sinister quietly sets the stage for the coming Inferno. Storm grapples with the shocking news that Jean Grey is alive—news Wolverine has known all along—while the fractured team faces mounting strain, from Havok and Madelyne’s growing bond to the simmering conflict between Psylocke and Rogue. Marc Silvestri’s striking interior art, inked by Dan Green and colored by Glynis Oliver, brings a haunting intensity to the issue’s emotional core, with a cover by Silvestri and Green that captures the unease beneath the surface.
