It looks like our little band of travelers is starting to form in to a cohesive team. The Captain Britain Corps have been all but devastated by Merlyn, Roma's father. Part of our hybrid group is fighting Jaspers, and part of the group is fighting Rouge-Mort. And Kitty Pryde is back in the observation room of the Crystal Palace trying to figure out what to do to help her fellow X-Men. Also, Brian has been incapacitated as he was attacked by a group of assassins. So, desperate situations call for desperate allies. Pete, Betsy and Sage go to Crossmore to ask Albion to help in their fight. They appeal to his loyalty to the Captain Britain Corps. But, it's his affinity for Brian that ultimately convinces him. Brian is hurt, and they express to him that it was his idea to try to trust him. "We do this for Brian. It's my brother who's trusting you." And when they return to the Starlight Citadel, he actually gives it his all. But really all he's doing is holding Jasper's attention for a short while so the rest of the team can get a breather. Allison is fighting Rogue, and Longshot is trying to get to her to help. But, at the last instant Merlyn decides to take matters in to his own hands and readily defeats both of them. At the same time he's sent a similicrum of Roma out to cause problems. A couple of things are brought up this issue. First the other teammates notice that Morph is fighting more like Proteus right now. Also the connection between Allison and Longshot seems to have been re-established. But, is it to late? The team finds out that the Fury Prime actually resides inside of Jaspers, and at the end of this issue it lets it's presence be known by overtaking his identity. But, the Fury may actually be easier to beat than Jaspers. And, since Brian returns on the final page, looking like he's in his full glory, they may actually have to fire-power to accomplish that. One more issue to go, and then we're in to the new Exiles book and team. I can't wait. I'm sure there will be some characters that will be lost or missed. But, it'll be nice to have the team back, and the multi-dimensional excursions. And, as long as Chris Claremont is at the helm, you can be assured that it'll be a brilliant book.
