After the Mutant Massacre, Fall of The Mutants is the second X-titles based crossover/event with some other magazines like FF and Daredevil join as tie-ins.

However this is a "thematic crossover" rather than a storyline with chapters that are connected to it within each isssue of the titles.

New Mutants headed an isolated island to save the Bird-Brain's people from Ani-Mator.

Uncanny X-Men battles Freedom Force in Dallas.

X-Factor battle Apocalypse in his giant spaceship hovering above Manhattan in invisible status.

Eventhough through this seperate adventures, each title shows hints about what's going on for each team. During X-Factor's fight with Apocalypse, the city is being destroyed by his horsemen, and in some of the panels, it shows a bar where everybody is running out ouf and the TV in it shows X-men's enterance to the portal in Dallas.

Other tie-in issues such as Power Pack and Daredevil are directly affected by the events of the X-factor's fight aganist Apocalypse, so in that sense, it's very similar to recent years' X-men events, espcially to Apocalypse Wars that is about to start.

In general, Fall of The Mutants is a much better X-men crossover than Mutant Massacre, and all the 3 main stories are very good reads.
