History & Lore This issue is part of the late-1980s “Australian Outback” era of Uncanny X-Men, a period known for darker themes, tighter character focus, and long-form storytelling under Chris Claremont. While not a major key issue, it serves as an important transitional chapter following Inferno, helping reset the status quo and develop ongoing character arcs that would shape the series moving forward.
