I really like the way this whole story, Messiah Complex, is shaping up. Much better than the Endangered Species story-line that was the back-up. But, I'm sure some of the themes that were explored there will make their way in to the main story-lines. It was, after-all, kind of the prologue to this story-line. The only thing I find disenheartening is that, I know, when all is said and done with this . . . there's going to be some major changes in all of these titles and teams. There has to be. Jamie and Layla have finally made it in to the inner bowels of the relocation camp in the future. And it's not turning out to be like anything that they expected. They find out 2 pieces of information. First, this is where Bishop came from. Why? Because they end up with the same tattoo on their face that he has. Secondly, someone makes reference to the six-minute war. "I lost both my kids in the six-minute war, you mutie sow. Know where I'd like to put this needle?" In the present Scott has put together a team to go after Cable. But, of course, they arrive there just a bit to late. Wolverine did everything he could to bring him in, but he tricked them and escaped with their Blackbird. Also in that skirmish, Caliban has been killed. Which, really, has affected Warpath the most. He's really, really upset about the whole thing. Our young team of X-Men, are back at the school trying to get Cerebro back up and functioning. The Cuckoo's, who had absorbed all of David's knowledge, have recently given it back to him. So he, and they, are trying to get it fixed. When they do they find out that Cable is heading straight to Dallas for Forge. But when Cable finally gets to Eagle Plaza, he finds Forge lying on the ground shot. As he's looking for clues, he himself is shot in the back. The issue ends with the baby lying on the floor, and Bishop holding a gun over her head. This was a fantastic chapter by Mike Carey and Chris Bachalo. The next chapter takes place in Uncanny X-Men #494. I can't wait.
