One of the most sprawling – and most effective – of all the X-family crossovers, the culmination of numerous long-running plot-threads, and almost as a footnote, the formation of a new Avengers team. It fits into the main Marvel Universe timeline here.
Titles in Bold are the essential parts of the storyline, everything else can be skipped unless you’re a particular fan of the characters involved.

Notes:
- Only the Inferno relevant pages of this issue are reprinted in X-Men: Inferno, vol.1; the full issue is reprinted in X-Men: Inferno Prologue, but is not needed to follow the Inferno storyline.
- I know I said that if it’s not bold, it’s not essential, but to me this is essential: Jarvis is the man!
- Kingpin’s appearance in this story seems to precede his appearance in the Spider-Man story that follows.
- Takes place more or less in parallel with the conclusion of the main arc, but works best as an epilogue.
- Only the Inferno story from this issue is reprinted.
