Synopsis for "The Shadow Within"

The New Mutants are training. Cannonball is getting instruction from Nightcrawler on acrobatics. Rahne is still scared of him. Colossus and Sunspot are sparring when Sunspot somehow injures Colossus. Professor X and Moira are examining Warlock. Elsewhere in New York, Selene appears and gets directed towards the Hellfire Club, and Emmanuel Da Costa gets initiated into said club. Rahne writes a fairy tale, and she shows signs of possessing Dagger's powers by the end.

Solicit Synopsis

Nightcrawler gives Cannonball a training session! Selene meets the Hellfire Club! And Rahne "writes" a fairy tale - one that is definitely not designed for bedtime! "The Shadow Within!" is written by Chris Claremont, and penciled and inked by Bill Sienkiewicz! Cover by Bill Sienkiewicz. 60¢
