Owner's Description

Chris Claremont (writer), John Romita jr. and Dan Green (artists), Glynis Wein (colorist), Tom Orzechowski (letterer), Ann Nocenti (editor), Jim Shooter (editor in chief)
The threat of the Dire Wraiths has been replaced by shadowbeings, which are trying to drag the X-Men and Forge into their realm. Storm frees Forge, who searches for the shaman Naze to help them, but in vain. Nightcrawler, in the meantime, enlists his girlfriend Amanda Sefton, a powerful sorceress, to help. She is joined by the New Mutant Magik, who also helps with her magical Soulsword. Together they are still not able to banish the shadowbeings, though, until Storm recalls the Wraith she trapped on the roof, which is the source of the spell. Nightcrawler teleports himself and Forge out there and Forge kills it, thus ending the threat of the shadowbeings. In the meantime, the Wraith that took Naze’s form tries to contact a powerful force to help its people. Instead, that malevolent force takes possession of both it and the Naze body. Unaware of this, Forge finds the unconscious “Naze” and plans to take him to hospital. He tries to talk things through with Storm but she promises vengeance before she leaves. Later, Xavier and the X-Men discuss whether the X-Men are truly still needed. The discussion soon becomes heated and Kurt mentions the X-Men who died or were maimed. When Rachel, who eavesdrops, hears that Jean Grey died, she goes ballistic and attacks them. After she calms down, she explains that Jean is her mother and this cements that she is from another timeline. She shows them the horror of the future she comes from and explains how important the X-Men are. Finally beaten, Kurt accepts. In the Bermuda Triangle, Captain Lee Forrester saves a man out at sea, which turns out to be an injured Magneto. And in the New York harbor area, Jaime Rodriguez finds a necklace radiating malevolence that promises him power…
