Closer To The Flame
The most explosive event in the life of X-Man since he escaped the Age of Apocalypse! On one side we have Madelyne, the clone of Jean Grey, repowered and fully evil. On the other we have Cyclops and Phoenix, the man Madelyne married and the woman she was based upon. In the middle we have Nate Grey, the alternate version of the son of Cyclops and Madelyne. Now the battle lines are drawn and the ultimate family fued begins! But on whose side will Nate stand? His decision could jeopardize his relationship with the X-Men for all time! It's a 48-page blow-out that will redefine Nate's place on the mutant map!
