Synopsis for "To the Ends of the Earth"

• Synopsis not yet written.

Notes

• Karma seemingly died off-panel between New Mutants #6-#7 after being contacted by an evil, unidentified force, although Professor XCharles Xavier]] even then suspected that things were not quite as they seemed.
• Roberto’s girlfriend, Juliana, died saving Roberto’s life in Marvel Graphic Novel #4.
• Illyana and Dani had to save the others from the Hellions in New Mutants #17.
• After the loss of her powers, Storm took a sabbatical from the X-Men and travelled through Africa (Uncanny X-Men #193-#198), before ending up in Cairo.
• This issue is reprinted in other comics and books, see references for more info.
  

Trivia

• The story refers to Roberto’s meeting with the Beyonder having an averse effect on him; however he wasn’t among the mutants who actually met him in Secret Wars II #1 or New Mutants #30.
• Arriving in Madripoor, Doug calls it “Earth’s Mos Eisley” and a “modern day Tortuga”. Mos Eisley was the spaceport in the original Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope) where Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi met Han Solo and Chewbacca. Preparing Luke for what he would see in the Tatooine spaceport, Kenobi told Luke “You’ll not find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.” In contrast to this comparison, Doug’s recount of Tortuga is quite real. Tortuga is an island in the West Indies off northern Haiti and was a refuge for pirates in the 17th century.
