Published 1990

Notes Despite what the cover says, the interior identifies this as part two of the story; This already convoluted and hard to follow tale was further plagued by the facts that the covers were mis-numbered and they were published out of sequence (this issue as part two was published after X-Factor Annual #5 which was part three).
