My Bro (an X-Men guru) and I agree that this is most likely about Marvel Comics late '80's crossover, Inferno.
Pretty much every Marvel book in New York was involved in defending the city from demon infestation. The core story had the X-Men and X-Factor dealing with the cause, a clone of Jean Grey created by Mr. Sinister named Madelyne Pryor, then wife of Cyclops and the mother of his son (who would grow up to be cable)
We got this conclusion from the line "Children of the Atom" a politically correct term for mutant in the early days of X-Men. Also the phrase "Sinner, Sins, Asylum" recalls the play-on-words of the two main demons from the story S'ym & N'Astirh whose names together sound like "Sinister" the mastermind behind most of it.
