This book starts out with Jean's travel, across the Universe, where she came in to contact with the Silver Surfer. This apparently happened over the course of the last 2 months or so. The only thing I'm not sure of is . . what was the outcome of this journey? All we know for sure is that she tells the Surfer that she's looking for Heaven. Then, later in the book, she sees a vision of her father. He says that he's come to her because of her journey, and that she should just carry on her life the way she is . . . to forget about him. But, I'm not quite sure what the relevance of all this is? The main part of the story is about the Banshee drug. As suspected, we find out that the drug is actually coming from Wolverine. Well . . not directly. Someone is attempting to recreate his DNA. Or at least temporarily recreate it in the people that take the drug. Which has really pissed Logan off. As I was saying though, I don't understand what Jean's journey has to do with this. Maybe nothing . . I don't know. Anyways, Colossus' team, who've gone off to try to retrieve Northstar from Alpha Flight, have all become hooked on Banshee during this operation. It was necessary for them to take it because Alpha Flight was all Banshee enhanced, and they wouldn't have stood a chance without it. So after Scott sends a mental SOS to Jean, she puts a team together to go up to Canada and try to save them. Wolverine goes along for the ride, but this is after he discovers what someone is trying to do with his DNA. The issue ends after Wolverine confronts Colossus because he thinks he is the fault behind all of this. The final panel of the book shows Colossus standing there, holding what looks like his heart in his hands. A very ominous ending. Aron E Coleite wrote it, and Clay Mann, with the help of Brandon Peterson, did the art. Overall I enjoyed the issue. I was just confused about the Jean Grey part of it. I also think this book has definitely improved in the last couple of months. I'm happy about that.
