New X-Men #35 - Marvel


This book is getting pretty intense. Hellion and X-23 have gone to try to find the Facility, to rescue Cessily, Mercury. Meanwhile, back at the mansion, the X-men, new and old, are trying to put together the pieces. And when I say everybody is working on it, I mean everybody. David, Nori, Onyxx, Randy, Peter, Sooraya, Vic, Megan, Cyclops, Kitty, Emma, they're all trying to figure out what's happened to their teammates. And, how they're going to get them back. Oh, and all the soldiers of the ONE, stationed on the grounds, are helping them too. Jullian and Laura can't get a decent lead on where the Facility is now, so they go to the Owl for some information. While all of this is going on, at the Facility, they are trying to remove a piece of Cessily's skin. The problem they're having is that it's hard to get a piece and keep it alive. So there's a lot of torturing going on. They want it so they can put it on this beast they call Predator X. Right now it's just a big beast, all muscle and sinew, but with a good sample from Mercury, they plan on giving it a skin. At the end, when they finally do, it might just be me, but it looks an awful lot like a warbeast. But maybe that's just because it's silver. Anyways, at the end of the issue, Jullian and Laura do find the base, and back at the mansion Emma has them both on Cerebro. But, there must be some kind of field around the base because when they get there, Emma looses them. But, they are there, and they're about to fight Kimura. Next issue should be a thriller. This is another book that has continued to improve. I really like the way they've moved away from the "New Mutants" idea. And, I really like the direction that they're going. Fantastic book.
