KEY ISSUE: Not really, Labeled the 100th issue extravaganza it isn’t a true key. Although by today’s standard any comic series reaching 100 issues is a feet in itself.

I like tress. My favorite one is an OAK. Anyways yeah not only is this the only CGC 9.8 graded but its also the only Signature Series. Heck it’s even the only one graded at any grade right now. I have to say this is one of those that have dared the impossible dream and came out on the other side un-phased. Signed by Rob Liefeld October 26th 2011 I can honestly say this one was a steal when I found it on eBay.
Story Title: Dark Cathedral
SUMMARY:
X-Force are confused by the appearance of four versions of Moonstar, before being confronted by the Queen of the Star Swords who is going to transform the world into her own version of perfect. SHIELD attacks her, but she quickly deals with them. X-Force confront the four versions of their teammate, before the Queen and the Moonstars vanish, and the real Moonstar appears, dazed, but otherwise fine - except for the fact that she has lost both her quantum powers and psionic powers. A massive cathedral then appears on Treasure Island, and they realize just how powerful the Queen is. X-Force, and Risque, return to their headquarters, where Moonstar gives them a run-down of what happened to her and Arcadia when the Demon Bear swallowed them, while Arcadia has taken on the persona of the Queen, while her real self is suppressed. Domino is suspicious of Risque, who explains that she is here at Sledge’s request. Ulysses Dragonblood transports X-Force to the cathedral, and Moonstar opens a portal so they can enter it - only to find themselves separated. Jennifer Kale has learned of what is transpiring and makes her way to the cathedral. Moonstar is reunited with Mary Weather, the doll, before being attacked by Fenwick the Dragon as she realizes that the cathedral is a portal to countless alternate realities. She runs from Fenwick, who attacks her, only for Cable to suddenly arrive, he takes down Fenwick, who actually is Ulysses Dragonblood somehow transformed. The rest of X-Force are split into groups and they make their way through carious alternate realities - Proudstar and Risque find themselves in a reality where Cable and Cannonball were killed by Stryfe and the MLF, and Copycat and Deadpool are members of X-Force. Domino and Bedlam are in a world where Belasco has taken over the world, and the X-Men are made up of surviving New Mutants. Cannonball and Meltdown find themselves in a timeline where X-Force are all inmates in the Wiesmann Institute. Finally, Moonstar, Cable and Dragonblood enter a world where X-Force work for the Queen of the Star Swords. Soon, three of the alternate Moonstars appear, as servants for the Queen, they battle Cannonball and Meltdown, and in the process, inadvertently reunite the members of X-Force. Moonstar absorbs the energies of the three alternate selves back into her, and confronts the Queen, trying to reach out to Arcadia. Worlds begin to merge as X-Force are forced to fight off countless alternate versions of themselves. The fourth alternate Moonstar - the cosmic one - is found by Jennifer Kale and the Man-Thing, and she learns what she must do - she jumps into the middle of the battle between Dani and Arcadia, adding her strength to Moonstar. Moonstar uses Cable’s psimitar to finish off the Queen, and Arcadia is reverted to her true form. Moonstar receives instruction from the Man-Thing on how to destroy the cathedral, and with her cosmic power returned, does so. The escape the cathedral - except for Cable, who must return to his true reality. With X-Force safe, Moonstar declares that it is time they continued to change the world, on their terms, while Meltdown asks if they returned to the right world. Meanwhile, Sunspot stalks the girl who now possesses Juliana Sandoval’s soul inside her. The girl is troubled, and when they bump into each other, Sunspot decides to let her be. Siryn’s aunt returns home to find the place a wreck - and Siryn mysteriously speaking. Siryn leaves her aunt and takes flight, the mysterious necklace having something to do with it, her possessor decides that she likes this body and will keep it for a while.
PERSONAL COMMENTS:
An awesome pick-up like I said earlier and a truly one of a kind pick-up. Now I’m gonna have to get the regular cover by Jim Cheung and get that one Signed so it wont be so alone.
