Ultimate X-Men #72 - Marvel

First of all this book is cool, just because we get to see the teenage X-Men. Now in this book, we got a lot of story threads going on. First we got Syndicate, an operative of Xavier's that helps him out from time to time. Next we got Kitty's situation with Spider-Man, plus her mom's worried about her, plus she's starting to crush on Magician. Next we have the team coming together to fight the Friends of Humanity. Kind of like Styker's group over in Uncanny. The leader happens to be a "Hulking" kind of mutant. Much to the X-men's suprise, and his own. Then we have Kurt who is brooding because of a woman who is in the hospital hurt. We also have the Rachel/Phoenix storyline that hasn't been resolved. She seems normal when she's talking to Charles, but when he leaves she believes there's little gremlins bouncing around her room. Then we have the whole Magician storyline. Where did he come from? How did he get here? Who is he? This is further compounded when Fury shows up because he wants him for the Ultimates. His parents gave him permission. But Charles says that when fury dropped him off, he said he accidentaly killed his parents. But Fury says he never heard of him before he popped up on the news. Intriging! This book just keeps getting better and better. This arc is being done by Robert Kirkman and Tom Raney.
