This is the build up to what will probably be two issues of fast fights and whatever the big reveals are in what they are doing and where they are heading next.

Pretty much the whole purpose is moving them out of CA which is kind of a shame since they have only been there a year.

I was eager to see where things were going when it… ended. And it wasn’t an intriguing “Find out what happens next time!” sort of ending. It just ended mid-scene on something we’re told almost nothing about.

My problem with this issue is that it feels like an interlude rather than a full chapter. A series of in-between moments that are all great, but leave you feeling like you haven’t read a complete comic issue.

To me, this issue showed off some of the better aspects of this crossover storyline. With one exception… the sociopolitical message. It was completely thrown out the window. All anti-mutant hate flame fanning subtly was entirely abandoned for mindless robot fighting.

And I too couldn’t tell that was Illyana until she was called by name. I recognized the New Mutants-specific uniform, but I assumed it was Magma for some reason.
