Goodbye, John Byrne; we hardly knew ye! It's time to move on to bigger, fresher things like... Dave Cockrum? 

The infamous Claremont/Byrne run ends with a Kitty Pryde solo story that whips ass, followed by a Cyclops soio story that's... you know... it's fine. Then the X-Men get wrapped up in a big ol' Arcade/Dr. Doom catastrophe and we get... Dark Storm!?

Stealing a Christmas Tree. Home Alone/Alien. Brent Anderson! A demon era. MAN THING!? Paolo for Loser League. Reverse pool-hustling. Do you smell bad? Dave Cockrum returns! Iceman’s dorm room. Wolverine’s bare butt. Storm and Doom’s love story. Al or Lee? Reusing Arcade’s rooms. “EAT HOT LEAD SUCKER!” Doom’s sex robot. Havok pulls a Bugs Bunny. Claremont embellishing. Rogue & Storm!
