We got a couple of things going on here. First of all, Charles is gone, so Scott, Jean and Ororo are trying to run the school, as a school. Not a strike-force training ground. Anyways, Mr. Sinister appears to have committed suicide. He's locked in prison, and the guards have found him choked to death. Mastermind is also working on getting Magneto out of prison. Although it's not really Magneto, it's Mystique posing as Magneto, so now Mastermind is going to pose as Magneto, because the real Magneto has summoned Mystique. Gerald, the guy whom Lilandra left behind to oversee the school's operations, and report to her, is definitely up to something. Last issue he made reference to the Hellfire Club. Emma Frost has a new boyfriend, Shinobi Shaw. And it appears that he is who Gerald was trying to call. Meanwhile NightCrawler is in the sewer tunnels looking for the Morlocks. And it appears that he's finally found them. The Beast is not dead. In fact he's alive and breathing and working for Nick Fury. Well . . . working . . . but not necessarily by choice. He's fixed his Blue skin mutation, and now he's working diligently on a cure for the Legacy Virus. We see a Sentinel take out a mutant running through an alley somewhere in Manhattan. And finally we get a few pages on Ororo. She's having one of her bad dreams about the Shadow King. She wakes up and puts it in her computer. Apparently she's keeping a log of them. Then she hears a knock on her door. It appears that Bishop has decided to put together his own X-men team, and he's asking Ororo to be his first recruit. Robert Kirkman is on scripts, and Ben Oliver is on pencils. Ben's pencils are nothing fantastic. But the stories that Robert has been turning in, are more than making up for the artistic shortages. He really seems like he's sinking his teeth in to these characters.
