The Uncanny X-Men #236

The Uncanny X-Men #236 was published in November 1988 as part of the long-running Marvel Comics series. Written by Chris Claremont with art by Marc Silvestri and Dan Green, this issue serves as a pivotal chapter during the Inferno crossover event. The narrative focuses on the team's entanglement in the supernatural chaos engulfing New York City, specifically highlighting the tension between the X-Men and the invading demonic forces.

The visual direction of this era was defined by Marc Silvestri’s distinctively fluid and atmospheric linework, which perfectly complemented Claremont’s dense, character-driven scripts. By the late 1980s, the X-Men franchise had become a massive cultural force, and issues like this were instrumental in balancing complex subplots with high-stakes action. Upon release, it was well-regarded by readers for its darker, grittier tone that signaled a shifting direction for the mutant team.
