This is an interesting book. It doesn't really give us any insights into the matters going on. But it is another chapter in the ongoing storyline. It's by Ed Brubaker and Salvador Larroca. Last issue Caliban came to the school, almost dead, because he wanted to try to get the X-men's help. Masque is leading the Morlocks, or what's left of them. He's following the prophesies of a woman who lived with them for a while. Basically, he's mad at the surface world for taking away their powers, and he's trying to make them pay. He, as with many others, don't know the real circumstances that lead to and caused M-Day. So it's just as easy for him to blame a group of people that he already hates. We get to see some of our old favorites ballying about down here. There's Skids, Erg, Bliss, Leech, of course Caliban, and a few others that we probably just haven't seen yet. Basically it all culminates in Masque planting a biological bomb on a subway train. I don't really know the purpose, but I think he's trying to turn them all in to mutants. But Warpath, Storm, Hepzibah and Caliban are hot on their trail. Also the Sentinels that were gaurding the school are on their way to rendevous with them. Thanks to a little notion Xavier planted with Valerie. And, in the meantime, Charles and NightCrawler have gone off in search of Erik. Like the usual X-men stories. Lots of things going on. Anyways, in the back of this book, we get chapter 2 of the Endangered Species storyline. None of the evil scientists bit on Hanks offer, in chapter one. So he's decided to try to meet with the High Evolutionary on his own. The only real bites he got on his offer came from Dr. Kavita Rao, Spiral, and a rather cryptic clue from the High Evolutionary. Which is really what is pushing him to trying to go to meet him. He really wants to know what he meant. And on the final page of this issue, it looks like he's reached the gates of the enemy.
