New X-Men #29 - Marvel

We learn alot more about Nimrod this issue. This is actually a Nimrod from the future. 16 years future to be exact. Nimrod shows Forge a holographic image of him threatening his family, Ororo and their 2 children, for him to make and install a time travel device. Forge, being the clever guy he is, instantly starts thinking in his head how he would do that. In doing so he realizes that the Forge of the future not only came up with a device, but also rigged it to send him to an alternate timeline as he was going backwards. That's why he ended up in ours, and that's why he couldn't find Forge right away. This happened 2 years ago. But, William Styker did find him, and that's how he found out all the info about the X-men. So, since all the "grown up" X-men are going off on their own mission, these new X-men decide to hijack the Blackwing and go to help Forge. Oh yeah, Forge sent a holographic message to them via the gauntlets that he had built for Norika. The story ends with Nimrod, realizes that they are on their way, planning out exactly how and the amount of time it will take to kill them off 1 by 1. Cool story. I really like the way this team is meshing together, and how they're going in their own direction from the X-men.
