Well it looks like Sage has slipped over to the dark-side. But she's done that before. Right? I mean, when she was infiltrating the Hellfire Club, wasn't she in so deep that they thought they lost her? I think it's just all part of her MO. But, this time she has killed 2 people. Scott and Hank of the Black-X team have both died by her hand. And, when someone took a shot at Albion, and it looked like we might've finally got rid of him, she jumped in and took the bullet. Saving his life. So, if she has a plan . . . it's completely oblivious to anyone else. But the one good thing that's come out of Hank's death is that it's cemented the team in their resolve to take the fight back to Albion, and put a stop to his conquest of their island. Pete's shown some courage and resourcefulness this issue. And Allison has really stepped up in her control over her powers. But she always was a fantastic, if underutilized, character. But if they don't get to Albion soon, he's going to have all the civilians on his side. Even though he's the one that's caused the technological disaster, he's also the one that's come to the aid of the people with food and talk of action. Meanwhile, Captain Britain, their true hero, is nowhere to be seen. They're starting to feel a little abandoned by him. Fantastic story by Chris Claremont and good artwork by Pat Olliffe. This is another title that just gets better and better every issue.
