Ok, I know I've been hard on this book lately. But . . it really is boring. But anyways, they are doing some twists on the whole Marvel history . . continuity . . . whatever. Cyclops is the pacifist. He disbanded the team after-all, when Xavier went missing. Now he's trying to be the headmaster of the school. Meanwhile, Bishop, in the absence of a core team, has gone out to form one of his own. His consists of Angel, Dazzler, Pyro, Wolverine, Storm and Betsy Braddock. The Mutant Liberation Front is a pro-mutant group. Mainly because they believe Xavier was killed as part of some govt. plan. But face it, if it wasn't Xavier, it would just be some other excuse. The Sentinels are out and about, but it's not a govt. program, it's actually been put together and funded by the Fenris Twins. Ok, that being said, this issue Bishops team comes to the aid of the MLF, when they're attacked by some Sentinels. Between the 2 teams they make quick work of them, but the MLF isn't happy about Bishops team because Stryfe doesn't really have the whole story. But he's also not listening. So his opinions about the whole thing aren't about to change. So Betsy puts a suggestion in Pyro's mind, that maybe he would be better suited on the opposing team. Stryfe is happy to have the convert, so his ego stops him from questioning the whole thing. Meanwhile, Jean is getting closer and closer to losing control to the Phoenix force. It really is only a matter of time. This time when the situation happens though, Hank happens to be sitting in the tree outside her window, and witness' the whole thing. And Bishop has come up with a plan to do something about the Sentinels. He hurts one, just enough to send it back for repairs, and they follow it in to the heart of the beast. What they don't expect though is ending up in Fenris Int. headquarters. So we end the issue with them face to face with the Fenris twins. Ok, I'll admit . . . the books not terrible. But I still think it's boring. I feel like the writers that have been on this book, are afraid of traveling to far off the beaten path. But that's what I thought the Ultimate Universe was all about. But unfortunately I don't see that changing any time in the near future for this book.
