Meanwhile in America, the X-Men face the Hellfire Club and Kulan Gath turns all of Manhattan - and all Marvel's heroes - into a barbarian horde. Then, in the All-New, All-Diff erent X-Men 100th issue, a ghost from the team's past confronts them on one of their most devastating moments. Finally, fan-favorite Paul Smith returns for a story with massive implications for the X-Men's future.
