X-Men #187 - Marvel

Salvador Larroca just keeps getting better and better. I first saw him when he was do Ghost Rider a few years ago. At the time I honestly thought, "this guy is to good for this book". Now, he's incredible. Anyways, Peter Milligan writes a mean story too. This issue is about the X-Men that were transformed by Apocalypse. Sunfire is trying to bring them together, for some reason. He says it's to kill his attachments to external things, but I think there's a deeper purpose. So he's go Remy on his side, sort of. He doesn't at first, but then after their altercation with the X-Men, he's fully on his side. They want to gather up Polaris too, but she doesn't want anything to do with them. She decides she's going out on her own to find Apocalypse and find out what he did to her. There's a little more character developement along the way. But, essentially that's the bulk of the story. Oh yeah, when they return to their temple, Mr Sinister is there waiting for them. This was a wrap-up issue because next month we get a new creative team. Mike Carey and Chris Bachalo. Should be good, I can't wait to see where they take our team next. At the end of the book there's a "Masked Marvel" back-up story. It's kind of lame. If you missed it, no big deal.
