New X-men #28 - Marvel

Ok, we start out this one with Jay Guthrie dead. But, considering that his brother is immortal, I think the jury is out on that one. But, it's still sad. Stryker didn't kill him, who was holding him prisoner, it was Nimrod. Thus enters the Avengers. Or at least Tony Stark and Carol Danvers. So with her history, she decides to tell them. Well back at the X Mansion, they're going through some cleanup of thier own. Styker has just attacked, last issue, is now supposedly dead, and they're in the process of cleaning up and sorting out the bodies. So Carol shows up, trys to break the news, and all of Josh's pals find out he's dead. Pretty sombering stuff. Carol also trys to make a plea for the Registration act while she's there. But that goes over like a bull in a china shop. Emma decides to take her down a mind journey and show her all the tragedy that the X-men have gone through on thier own. Every scene she asks, "and where were the Avengers?". So at the end the students figure out from Jay's message that it was Nimrod, and Nimrod finds his "Maker", Forge. He threatens that if Forge doesn't help him, he will target Storm and take her out. I think this book is now fully submerged into the X Universe.
