X-Men: Inferno (1989)
Inferno (1989) is a crossover event that promises to tie up loose ends and give resolution to seeds that have been sown since before the Dark Phoenix Saga (1980). Demons are planning to invade New York, characters are coming back from the dead, and the city itself seems alive and hostile, but who is secretly pulling the strings all along? This story follows several groups of mutants (X-Men, X-Factor, X-terminators, and New Mutants) as they try to figure out why trains seem to be sprung to life, they hear cackling in the dark corners of an alley, and faces that were thought to be gone show themselves once again. This story is a story that will constantly keep you guessing and just as you think you solved the mystery some new revelation occurs that throws a wrench in every mutant's plans. Here we see the ending to many stories from Dark Phoenix Saga, Darkchylde Saga, The Mutant Massacre, and Fall of the Mutants, all of which wrap up in some of the most amazing and satisfying ways that they can and leave room for future writers to explore even further (which they have). I honestly do not want to say much more about this, but any person that wants to read X-Men comics, even if they only go over the "Milestone Collection", will not want to skip over this. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, X-Men: Inferno is just a must.
