There's a lot of retrospect that goes on in this series. Charles is perusing the remains of the school, and mansion, and thinking about how this whole thing started. Rogue is basically doing the same thing, but at the X-Men's one-time base in Australia. Even the Hellfire Club is thinking about the past as they look towards the future and what it holds in store for them. Also, Sebastian still hasn't told them about his new companion, the female Sinister. However, as Charles thinks about his students, he decides that he should confront Scott and try to talk to him. Of course in Charles case, that involves a mental nudge to get Scott to show up wherever Charles is at. I'm starting to think he does that a lot more than any of them ever realized. But I like how it ends. Scott turns the tables on his old mentor. As the Professor tries to walk away, Scott stops him . ."Professor . . . I'm afraid it's not going to be nearly that easy. Not after what you just told me. Think about it. You say you made mind-contact with Sinister, after he was dead. You don't throw out a remark like that and then just walk away. I didn't come here alone. Someone else has visiting rights inside my head these days. Someone who'd spot a thought that didn't belong there and know it for what it was. So strap your self in, Professor. You're about to get a taste of your own medicine." Mike Carey does a fantastic job with team books. And he's really exceeding himself on this title. I really like the intricacy of the stories that he's been weaving here. I like how he's tying all of the X-Men past, present and future together. And with Scot Eaton on the pencils, I really like the direction that this book is heading right now. I also enjoy how closely they're trying to tie this title with the Astonishing book. That didn't happen with Joss' stories, but it seems to be more and more prevalent every month. Did you ever think that the X-Men would have 3 main titles that were all this strong? Fan-frikkin-tastic!!
