This is another book that I just can't say enough about. It is just fantastic! Sheer perfection! The story is great, and the artwork is phenomenal. Like I said before, if these guys don't do the next movie, Marvel is seriously missing the boat. Anyways our team has gone off the Breakworld. They have a prophecy that Colossus is going to destroy their world. So, they've sent their guy, Ord, to earth to take care of the threat. But, should he fail, they also have a missile pointed at earth that would obliterate it. So that's why their heading there, and that pretty much covers their mission plan, "We get on the world, we find out how Rasputin's supposed to be a threat, visibly nullify that threat, and take out the missile they've got pointed at the earth." Pretty simple, right? Well . . . you just know that nothing is ever that simple where the X-men are involved. After a few near death experiences, they make it to the world, and reach the surface. So now all the players are in place, we just have to wait until next issue to find out exactly what's going to happen. But, Scott, Emma, Beast and Agent Brand do make it in to the temple. They're surprised to see a huge hieroglyphic wall with a likeness of Colossus crushing the life out of their planet and sun. Not much room for misinterpretation there. Joss Whedon and John Cassiday have done a phenomenal job with this book. I don't know how, but it seems to get better and better every issue. Now my understanding is that this story-arc will go until issue 24, and after that Joss and John are done. Which is really a shame. But, I'm sure, to follow this up, Marvel with come up with some equally as impressive creative team to take over. I can't imagine they'd just let a book like this go away. So the next few issues should be very interesting.
