Ok, I'm excited. Chris Bachalo is back for this story-arc. We're still dealing with our team on the Conquistador. But after the last issue, Rogue is down for the count. So Cable is taking her to the Island Haven of Providence. You know, the little country that Cable set up. To try something different from democracy. He the leader, the police, the judge and the jury. While they're there, Lady Mastermind is up to her own thing. Up on the ship Cannonball and Omega Sentinel, Karima, are coming up with a containment cell for Creed. They've put him in a temporal field envelope, where time will slow for him by a factor of a thousand. So basically it will take him 3 years to live 1 day. Kind of like a suspended animation. Meanwhile, Mystique and Bobby are in the hospital looking after Rogue. They're both worried sick about her. What Lady Mastermind is up to, is that she wants a therapist to hypnotize her. She's got some kind of block going on, and she wants to figure out what it is. It actually turns out to be an alien. A pretty powerful one. It takes her over, and then heads out in to the world. Of course our team try to stop it, but in the process it takes over Mystique because it likes her better. "I am Ev Teel Urizen, I am the proscribed, the anathma, the womb-weld. I am Mummudrai." Personally, I never heard of them before, but Cable has, so he has a plan. But before he can implement it, the Mummudrai stop him. "Wait. Not come for this. Not tell. Show watch listen understand." She downloads a ton of information into Cable and Bobby. And Cable, who's trained, can barely handle it. Basically it's come from the edge of Shi'ar space. Following a psychic trail to the X-mansion. Why? Because, " . . . the Hecatomb comes. To eat the world." Kind of ominous, huh? Anyways, Mike Carey writes it, so you know it's going to be a fantastic story. This is the final story-arc that leads us up to issue #200. So I'm sure it's going to be a thrill ride. I can't believe this books up to almost 200 issues already. It doesn't seem like that long ago when we we're collecting all 5 of the first issue. Well lets get ready for the bi-centennial.
