This book has really come a long way. But then with Chris Claremont writing it now . . . I would expect nothing less. We have a new artist this issue, Jeremy Haun. I never heard of him before. I'm not overly thrilled about his art. But, he does show promise. I mean it's not terrible, it just isn't my style. But it worked with the story, so I can't complain that much. It looks like Shadow-X is pretty much done, as far as this storyline goes. Last issue they tried to shanghai Lionheart, by offering her up as a new vessel for the Shadow King. He currently lies in their version of Professor X. But Lionheart proves herself strong enough to counter the Shadow Kings attack, making him retreat back in to the Professor's body. Which she then kills. But this puts her at odds with Shadow-X. And this all happens just as our team, Excalibur, finds out where they've gone, and comes busting through the walls. They start fighting everyone, but through the skirmish have made the observation that Lionheart was actually also fighting against Shadow X. Meanwhile, Sage, who is undercover, is having herself indoctrinated into Albion's homemade army. She's waiting for the right moment to slay him, or at least try to wound him. But she hesitates just a little to much. They hear the helicopters coming after them, and Albion has just released a spell that has put the Isle of Britain in to a complete blackout. Not just electricity, but all technology. Our team knows that Albion is behind this attack. But they don't really know where he's at. We also get a little glimpse in on Nocturne as she's going through her rehabilitation steps at the hospital. It really is sad. Overall, I thought it was a very nice book. But I am a little biased as this is one of my favorite teams. And actually . . . my favorite X-team. But in the end, this is just another book that we're going to have to wait until next month to find out the results.
