New X-Men #34 - Marvel


When last we saw our team, Cessily and Laura had gone out for some coffee and to talk. They were attacked by Kimura. We assumed they were after X23, but actually, they were after Mercury. We see a quick flashback of the day she gained her powers, and the effect it had on her family. Kimura seems to have some type of powers too, but we don't know the full extent of them yet. She's damn near indestructable though. Because Laura tries to blow her up, with her own grenades. But they can't stop them, so they make off with Mercury. Laura goes back to the school to get her stuff, but Hellion finds her. He wants to help. Laura doesn't want his help, but he doesn't give her much choice as he scoops her up and goes flying of into the sunset. Also, Sooraya is still looking for her mother, but Emma doesn't seem to be making much headway. And there's an earth tremor at the school, but we don't know where it came from. All we know is that it came from inside the school. Meanwhile, at some facility, they have Cessily in a tube and are running tests on her. But we don't know why. All we know is that they have some other mutant, or animal, that seems to be eating the other mutants after they run tests on them. And Laura and Hellion are hot on their trail. Fantastic story. The writers are doing a great job with these characters, especially with the interactions between them. And, I really like Paco Medina's pencils.
