The Spider-Man/X-Men crossover Dark Web has focused on clone villains 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Madelyne Pryor/Goblin Queen and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ben Reilly/Chasm trying to destroy and subsume the lives a💖nd memories of their progenitors, Jea💧n Grey and Chasm, respectively.

In January 18's Dark Web: X-Men #3, the finale of the X-Men tie-in limited series from writer Gerry Duggan, 🐟artists Rod Reis and Phil Noto, and letterer Cory Petit, Madelyne Pryor gets her wish. And somehow, in doing so, she actually manages to somewhat redeem𓆏 herself from her recent villainy.

While Forge uses his mutant ability to innovate and invent anything he can think of to create a machine that uses Krakoa gates to transport civi🎉lians to safety and combat the Limbo demons that are still on the surface world, Jean Grey and Magik take on Madelyne Pryor in Limbo itself.

Jean, understanding Madelyne's grief at the loss of time with her child and the life she never got to live, o🔴penly shares her memories of Nathan with Madelyne, bringing them both to tears.

Realizin💮g that her unwillingness to speak to Jean and ask her about her time with Nathan led her to team up with Chasm for the Limbo attack, Madelyne calls together the X-Men (with Jean's guidance and blessing) and vows to he✃lp clean up her own mess on Earth as the X-Men move into February 1's Dark Web: Dawn #1 finale one-shot.

Before then, Spider-Man's portion of Dark Web continues in Amazing Spider-Man #18 on January 25 - and so fa🦋r, Ben Reilly/Chasm hasn't seemed anywhere near as open to compromise and reconciliation with Peter Parker as Made🔜lyne was with Jean.

Dark Web takes many of its story beats from the original Inferno event, one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best X-Men stories ever.
