The best part about this whole book . . . was the art. Humberto Ramos did it . . . and it looked really good. The opening page with Cable standing on the icy mountain ready to fight Lady Deathstrike . . . . was truly beautiful. This page alone could be a poster. Actually . . . it was a pretty good story. Obviously Lady Deathstrike has caught up with Cable. But that's ok, because X-Force isn't to far behind her. And when they join in the fight . . . . Brokeback Mountain has a whole new meaning. X-23 takes on Lady Deathstrike, and she gives her a special kind of pain. She's in the mood for payback. "You are losing blood faster than you can heal. I cut your cybernetics faster than they can repair. You are dead, and do not even know it. . . . . . . . You were dead the second you touched Julian Keller." Also Caliban took some bullets meant for Warpath. But Cable makes it back to their jet and absconds with it, before Wolverine can catch up with him. In the future, Jamie and Layla have given themselves up so that they can go in to the mutant concentration camp to find out what's going on . . . from the inside. But so far . . . they haven't seen a single mutant. They're starting to get a little concerned. Predator X has made it all the way to New York State. And he's smelling a whole mess of mutants. And Emma and Surge have a bit of a touching moment. Overall, I thought it was a fantastic book. Like I said, it'll be interesting to see how this all shakes out when we get to the end of this mega-cross-over event. And I think we're going to get a few new titles out of it also. Yippee!!
