Why it’s worth it. Inferno resolves plots Claremont had been running for five years and does it while every building in New York is alive. It also gives Madelyne Pryor the arc that made her a permanent part of the mythos, right up to Dark Web thirty years later. The Spider-Man and Avengers tie-ins are where the citywide scale actually lands.
