Synopsis for "Tokyo Story"

In Japan, children are witness to the return of the X-Men from the Secret Wars. The X-Men came back from the Beyonder's planet with a giant-sized dragon. The dragon begins wreaking havoc in Tokyo with the X-Men saving lives and trying to prevent further damage. They are joined by local mutant super-hero Sunfire, also a former X-Man. Meanwhile, apart from his colleagues, Cyclops returns to Earth to be welcomed by an angry and worried Madelyne Pryor. In Tokyo, Wolverine saves a little girl, Amiko, and promise to her dying mother to raise her as his own. Eventually, the dragoness launches a final assault on the X-Men only to be stopped by Lockheed who had befriended her during the Secret Wars. By the end of the issue, Senator Kelly wants to introduce his project of the Mutant Registration Act to the Congress.

Notes

  • This story takes place immediately after the events Secret War.
  • This issue introduces the Mutant Affairs Control Act, which will affect mutant-kind for several years.
  • This issue is reprinted in many other comics and books, see references for more info.[1]


Trivia

  • This issue humorously pokes fun at the Japanese cliché regarding monsters attacking Japan. The children try to identify the dragon in their "monster books" that they all carry on-hand. There is talk of a "monster island" and how it reports to the military that all monsters are accounted for. Even the Japanese military states that the monster should not be there since it is "off-season" for monsters.
