This is the next chapter of the Messiah Complex storyline. It's seems to be all epic tales going on everywhere right now. And you all wonder why I get so excited about those single issue stories that I read a couple of times a month. They're a great change of pace. Anyways, it seems like the whole X-Men team is devastated this month. The strike-force that went after the Marauders are coming home with injured. The new X-Men . . . the kids . . went after the Purifiers, and they have casualties. And even the X-Men that stayed home are getting beat up, because some kind of virus has worked it's way in to the Sentinels, and has turned their human pilots in to something in the way of robotic future Sentinels. They finally come together as a team though, and stop all the carnage at home. There's strength in numbers, because they beat them when some of the other teams return to the nest. Because of the X-Men's desperation, Sinister has deduced that Cable is on his own, and he's damaged. In that desperation, Scott has decided that it's time to up the stakes and commit to a plan they had formulated for just such a contingency. Logan double checks to make sure he really wants to go through with it, but Scott orders him to, "Assemble the X-Force!". It's a new strike-team consisting of Logan, X-23, Rahne, Warpath, Hepzibah and Caliban. The reason he's willing to do this is because he suspects that it was Cable that let the future virus loose within the Sentinels. "You're to take him down and get that child back by any means necessary." Brilliant story by Ed Brubaker. And, visually, a dream . . . by Billy Tan. I'm not sure how many chapters are left. But, it looks like this story-line is going to change everything.
