I've always loved Limbo-related X-Men stories. Inferno is still one of my favorite (maybe even my favorite) X-Men crossover. This story is a slam dunk for me.

This issue packs a lot of short and long-term plot development on top of a pretty brisk action story. The art still looks very good and the script does an admirable job keeping all its information clear. This is definitely a good comic. The "Old Man/Old Lady variant" trope is getting pretty threadbare, though.
