What a fantastic book. I can't believe that Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's run is almost over. But unfortunately, there's only 2 issues left. The book won't end. Just their part in it. The story that Joss weaves through this, and previous issues, is amazing. Then add to that John's cinematic style panels, and we have a classic in the making. This book, basically, is just bringing all the various aspects of the story together. The team, which got split up when they crash landed on Breakworld, is all brought back together. Including Danger, the sentient embodiment of the Danger Room. Emma kind of psychoanalyzes her, or it. She's come to the conclusion that as much as it hates the X-men and wants to kill them, it still can't. "The rogue sentinel, the alliance with that non-wit, Ord . . . desperate attempts to get someone to do what you can't. You never got over your parent programming. If it's any consolation, nobody ever does." So now she . . it . . is helping them and providing transport. And now that they're all together, they're going to the moon base so they can try to stop the Retaliator . . . the rocket that's pointed at earth. But they find out it's not a moon at all. Actually is a small planet sized base that's been built for no other purpose than to fire said rocket at said Earth. At the end of this issue, Scott, apparently, gives up his life to help save his team-mates. As they approach the moon, a squadron of fighters come after them. So Scott goes out on his own, in a fighter, to distract them, while the rest of his team attempt to land on the moon. He's only a single fighter, so it's only a matter of time before he's shot out of the sky. The issue ends with his body floating away in space. Fantastic! Just make sure you cherish the next 2 issues, because that's all we have left of this story-line. Enjoy it while you can.
