This issue starts out with Layla and Jamie, in the future, in the concentration camp where Bishop grew up. But at this age, Lucas seems a lot more down-trodden and sullen than he does, as an adult, in the past. It takes some coercion, but they finally get him to tell them how this whole thing happened. In that story, they find out what the Messiah baby had to do with the whole thing. That's when we find out, during their recent scuffle with a guard, Layla had grabbed a grenade from him. Now that they have the information, it's time to send Jamie back, and in order to do that . . . she has to kill him. The X-Men have landed in Dallas, at Forge's. But, as usual, they're about 2 steps behind. Bishop had taken out Forge and Cable, and was about to kill the baby, when the Marauder's . . specifically Gambit and Mystique . . showed up and knocked out Bishop. Now they have the baby, and they've taken off for Muir Island. As the team is trying to figure out what's going on with Jamie, he pops awake, tattooed face and all, asking for Bishop. Meanwhile, Cable and Charles have also formed an alliance. Cable needs help, and he knows that Charles is the only one that can give it to him. We find out, back on Muir Island, that Mystique has taken out Sinister. Back at the school, the Predator X has finally made it's way there. But by now, it may be to strong for them to take down. And our newly formed X-Force, is about to go face to face with the rest of the Marauders. Which , will lead us directly in to the new X-Force #1 coming out in a couple of weeks. I can't wait. This was a fantastic book by Peter David and Scot Eaton. But, I think we're nearing the end of our Messiah Complex story-line. So things are going to be coming at us fast and hard over the next couple of issues.
