New X-Men #45
“Messiah CompleX, Chapter 8”
Writers: Craig Kyle and Chris Yost
Penciler: Humberto Ramos; Inker: Carlos Cuevas

Still haven’t been able to track down Chapter 7, but this is a good solid issue of fighting.

X-23 vs. Deathstrike is quite enjoyable especially under the expert pencil of Humberto Ramos.

Unfortunately there is a fairly cheesy scene near the end that reeks of editorial meddling, but as a whole, I was pleasantly surprised by this issue.
