Indexer Notes

Although almost every event in this comic is adapted from existing X-Men stories various details are altered and the chronology shuffled (ie, Xavier is crippled when he first meets Magneto in Israel whereas the original stories had him still mobile; Madrox is on Muir Island more than a decade's worth of stories before his journey there, etc.).

Original story is 40 pages. Probably the first page (which is a splash page with no text of the Watcher in space) has been added.
