• Invasion of the Baby-Snatchers · 28 pages

  N'Astirh and his demons arrive on Earth to gather thirteen babies to fuel an infernal spell which will allow him to wrest control of Limbo from S'Ym. X-Factor disperses the children in their charge. Rusty turns himself over to Naval authorities. Boom-Boom, Skids and Rictor enroll in prep school. Artie and Leech are sent to boarding school. They meet a wheelchair bound Asian boy who can make wonderful inventions with his mutant powers. When demons abduct Artie and Leech, mistaking them for babies, Taki contacts the X-Factor kids for help. They bust Rusty out of prison and mount a rescue.

Publisher’s description

The X-Terminators have been separated and placed in several different institutions. But when things go terribly wrong and Rusty is in need of a prison break, will his friends be around to help? Not if they can't help themselves out first!
