Civil War - X-men #1 - Marvel

This book is set up to show how this "Civil War" is affecting the X-men, or the 198. And I have a feeling it is going to seriously tear them apart. First we have Domino and Shatterstar who infiltrate the command base set up on the mansion's grounds. This also means that since they are part of X-Force, that hopefully X-Force will be back. Maybe?They create a riot to form a diversion so they can blow the wall apart and escape with whoever will come along. The plan works perfectly, the O.N.E. and the Sentinels, are caught with thier pants down. Bishop is involved in the fray, but after Caliban puts the whammy on him, he is out until they've escaped. Cyclops and the X-men had them dead to rights, but they let them go because Scott doesn't want any more bloodshed. Bishop has a serious problem with this. So Bishop ends up with Tony Stark, planning on a joint initiative with the mutants and the O.N.E. But the only mutants Bishop could get to join him are Micromax and Sabra. I'm sure he'll gather up others though. But there's already rumblings in Tony's camp because General Lazer has serious problems with Bishop being in charge of this operation. Meanwhile, the X-Men, specifically Cyclops, Iceman, Angel & Beast are putting together thier own strikeforce to go after the 198. Emma goes along with them to say goodbye, but that leaves her outside of the grounds and at the mercy of a Sentinal that's targeted her. BOOM!!! End of book. That's alot going on for one book. But realistically, the Civil War should be tearing apart almost every camp or team. There's going to be alot of new alliances, and when all is said and done, I think we'll probably have to redefine who's the good guys, and who's the bad guys. Good luck with that.
