We don't see very much of Vulcan this issue, but we do find out what the X-Men are going through trying to get to Shi'ar space. We also learn some more about Korvus, the Shi'ar's Phoenix killer. He has inherited, through heritage, the sword of Rook'shir. It can only be carried by blood heirs because an infinitesimal piece of the Phoenix force resides in the blade. And also because it's about a foot wide and about 8 ft. long. Who says size doesn't matter? Anyways he finds his way to the X-men's ship, after all he is attuned to the Phoenix force. He then proceeds to beat up everyone. There's nothing Polaris, Havok or anyone can throw at the blade to stop it. Korvus finally makes it to where Rachel is and attempts to kill her. But, Rachel stops the blade with her portion of the Phoenix power, and in doing so they share a psychic report. Rachel learns about Korvus' heritage, and Korvus learns about everything, which is an awful lot, that has to do with Rackel's past and hardships. The hesitation of Korvus' part is enough for Rachel to overcome him. Then why he's down, Rachel disable the explosive charge that the Shi'ar had implanted in him to save his life. In the confusion, however, the Professor has taken off in Korvus' ship. We don't have any idea why. But, Darwin is in tow, as he has grabbed onto the bumper as the ship takes off. Always a cliffhanger with this book.
