This one is starting out much as the last mini did. We have the young kids, they're very optimistic and eager. They make mistakes. Mostly because they're so impulsive. But, in the team, they work together. So if one should fall, they're all there to pick 'em up and move on. Better to take an action, even if it's wrong, learn from your mistake and move on. That's better than no action at all. So when the Prof. tells them that they need to go to an island because of a looming danger, they jump on a freighter and are soon there. But as they move farther and farther into the island, and are faced with more and more of the dangers there, they are starting to question the Professor's motives in sending them there. Especially because his mental messages are so short and cryptic. He also doesn't seem to have the tenderness and concern that he usually has for his students. He keeps telling them they need to go to the north side of the island where the volcano is. But the closer they get, the more dangers they come across. But on the final page, it looks like someone is controlling Charles. He tries to reach out to the kids but he can't sense them anywhere. Who is it? Mastermind? I'm not sure. The only thing I know is that we won't find out until next issue. Nice story by Jeff Parker. Like I've said before, I really like the character interaction that he has going on between these kids. I also like that he has them talking and thinking and acting like kids. Not the adults that we know today. They're new. They're young. They're innocent. Roger Cruz' art fits the story very well also. These two work together very well to make for a very nice book.
