This is the "Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire" storyline. Xavier and his crew are travelling across the universe, chasing after Vulcan. Their first stop is a Shi'ar outpost along the way to replenish supplies. This outpost however has been taken over by War-Skrulls. They of course don't know this at first, but it's not long before they find out. We get to learn some more about Darwin this issue also. This guy is truly amazing. There also is a question about how much Xavier has manipulated them in the past. Now that he doesn't have his powers, and he has to use Rachel to do his dirty work, it's a little obvious when he trys to push someone through her. We don't see much of Vulcan this issue. We last saw him when he was approaching the home world in the ship that he commandeered. We do see the homeworld however. And they are about to let loose a criminal they have locked up, no name, he's just known as the "Blade of the Phoenix". Kind of ominous. At least for out X-men crew that are wandering around out there. Alex and Polaris seem to be getting along better. At least for now that can focus on their mission rather than interpersonal relationships. But where are they going to go from here? All the star-gates have been destroyed, and without them I don't know if they can make it to the homeworld. Ed Brubaker is doing the stories and Billy Tan get better and better on pencils every issue.
