X-Men: The Hidden Years

The ending of this book is abrupt, almost as though Byrne had more story to tell, but the book was cancelled; this storyline runs concurrently with the events of Fantastic Four (Vol. 1) #102-104.

All storylines come to a close in this final issue of the series.  Professor X helps the Fantastic Four combat Magneto, while the X-Men escape from the Mole Man.  Havok and the Professor help rescue Polaris from the Promise, and Tobias Messenger, leader of the Promise, dies.  Professor X leaves the Martin household, and all the X-Men return to the mansion to celebrate Beast's birthday one week later.
