X-Men v1 #143, 1981 - The story replays an earlier event in >
X-men #96, in which Storm ultimately triumphs over a horde of demons.
John Byrne's interpretation gives it a fresh new look, segueing into the current dilemma of a demon run amok. The artist's title typography drips and oozes eerily into the splash page. The story itself is an obvious nod to the 1978 Ridley Scott film, substituting a demon for the
Alien and Kitty Pryde for Sigourney Weaver. The pacing and suspense are strikingly similar. This baptism of fire for the X-men's newest member is also Byrne's last work on the series. Cover by Terry Austin. This is 35 of 35
X-men issues by
Byrne.
