Events? Storylines? We're the X-books! We don't need any of that! And it's true. Sales on the X-books would have dwarfed anything else there, except for Spider-Man. To be clear, it's not like the X-books didn't have events. Excalibur was coming off of the Cross-Time Caper during this bi-weekly period, and X-Men were building up to the X-Tinction Agenda crossover with New Mutants and X-Factor. But to get the kids to buy twice as many Captain America comics during the summer, they needed a special story, whereas the X-books just barreled on through.

Havok does not appear at all in X-Men #263-268 (or any of the other books listed). The Purple Punisher Plot! Wolverine's book did have a story in issue 27-30- the Lazarus Project. Although calling it a story is generous since a quarter century later I'm still not sure what the Master Form was supposed to be. |
