In typical Chris Claremont fashion, he has us going in a couple of different directions on this issue. First we have Betsy out there, trying to figure out what's been going on inside of her mind, and worried about the Slaymaster catching up to her eventually. She's even more startled when she awakens from a nightmare to find out that she has the lightning bolt tattooed across her face again. But it all has to do with Ogun. Apparently when they came to this world, Ogun's apprentice, Mandarin, had been killed by the Slaymaster shortly before their arrival. Well, somehow, her spirit has come to reside in Betsy which is how she came to Ogun's attention. Now Ogun is willing to teach her what he know's for her help in avenged his pupil. Meanwhile, Remy is out in the ocean trying to stop the approaching French fleet. Somehow, in doing so, he has gained the favor of the Great Ancient Masters of the Ocean. And through them, the respect and help of Queen Fen. We also have the part where Morph and Sage are trying to protect the Queen of England. To do so, they've gone to see Emma Frost at X-Force Academy. And finally back at the Crystal Palace, Kitty is worried because she's been watching the Omniverse die, one universe at a time. But really it shouldn't be happening this fast. She receives some cryptic clues from Heather, who apparently is equally as tied in with the Omniverse. I'm not sure where Creed or Mystiq were this issue, but I'm sure we'll catch up with them in the next. This is a great series and it's made even better under Chris' piloting. I've enjoyed this one for a long time, but it's been getting better every issue. Hopefully, Tom Grummett is back on board for the duration.
