The Uncanny X-Men #240
"Inferno, Part the First: Strike the Match" kicks off a major X-Men event with a gripping blend of personal stakes and escalating chaos. As Maddie and Havok share a quiet moment, their world erupts when N’astirh arrives at Mr. Sinister’s orphanage seeking Nathan Christopher, while New York begins to fall under demonic influence. Chris Claremont’s sharp storytelling, brought to life by Marc Silvestri’s dynamic art and Dan Green’s bold inks, sets the stage for a brutal clash as the X-Men descend into the Morlock tunnels to confront the Marauders—paying back the bloodshed of the Mutant Massacre. The cover by Silvestri and Green captures the rising tension with a striking, foreboding image.
