Uncanny X-Men #491 - Marvel


They wrap up the Morlock part of the storyline this issue. Which is good. Frankly, I was getting a bit bored with it. They've captured Ororo, Skids, Thunderbird, B, and Caliban. Masque is trying to make the prophecies of Qwerty's come true. So he's going to blow up a church, on Sunday, when it's full of parishioners. He's hoping that when they find the X-men's bodies underneath all the rubble, they'll be blamed for it, and the anti-mutant hysteria will be re-ignited. Xavier and Nightcrawler have gone off in search of Erik. But when Charles senses what's going on, they turn around and come back for their team-mates. I think that this, and Ororo's determination, is the turning point in Masque's plan. Charles uses his considerable influence to smooth everything over. He even convinces Masque to voluntarily fix the faces of the people from the subway. Yeah . . right. And B has told James how she feels about him. "My mating with you. Do not pretend, James . . us both have special senses. You never can lie to me." Is it just me, or does she talk a little bit like Bizarro. And Skids, who we found out was actually an agent of SHIELD, left with the books. Charles thinks she's gone to turn them over to Tony Stark, but actually . . . she's taken them to Erik. " . . there are things in here . . things you need to know . . . it talks about you . . about new hope to come soon . . . and it wanted to be brought to you. Something else, too. It said you're still a mutant." In the
story-line, Henry has decided to turn to magicks, now that his sciences have failed him. So he turns to Doctor Strange. He show Henry that Wanda's spell has been woven through the entirety of reality. " . . . reality has been consumed by her spell, the magic is woven through everything. Welded to all there is. Were I to try to break it . . . all of reality could implode as a result."
