I really like this book, but I'm a little confused about where we're going here. This is what I understand . . Steve Roger's transformation, and the emergence of Weapon X happened around the same time. They're related, somehow, but we don't see the 'hows' or 'whys' yet. But we do know that from those occurrences . . maybe one more than the other . . everything started to build out of that. This issue we see Charles and Eric. Eric didn't come from the Nazi concentration camps in this Universe. Rather his parents were the ones that had been experimenting on Weapon X for decades in Canada. Shortly after his powers emerged he found this out. He then freed Weapon X and killed his parents. Now he's gone to Charles to ask him to help him, as he was instructed by Charles' own book, to help create a haven and a school for the future of mankind . . mutants. Meanwhile, the obelisk that has been stored in the SHIELD catacombs for centuries, seems to have come to life. While Carol Danvers and the Fantastic Four are looking into that, trying to figure out what it's purpose is, Carol finds out that similar obelisks have been appearing all over the globe. They all seem to be in close proximity to a mutant or gathering of mutants. Brian Bendis writes this book, and since he's basically the father, or founder, of the Ultimate Universe, I think this is probably a story that he's had brewing in his head since it's inception. It seems to be very thorough and well thought out. I'd expect nothing less. I am also really enjoying Butch Guice's tremendous artwork. We're only a few months now from the March on Ultimatum series, which this one directly leads in to, so, I'm guessing, that's where we're going to find the majority of our answers. This is a great series, with a lot of potential. I can't wait to see where it goes from here.
