7 out of 9. That's how many X-Men books I've posted in the last couple of hours. 7 out of my last 9 posts have been X-Men, or X-Men related titles. That's a lot of mutants. But it appears that I've saved the best for last. This was a great book, and it starts to tie up some of our current story-lines. Peter, with Emma's help, finally takes out the Russian mob guy this issue. He's the guy that terrorized his village as he was growing up, and now he's found him operating right here in San Francisco. Practically in his own backyard. He was trying to infiltrate his group and take him down from the inside, but . . all of that changed when he found a cargo bin full of Russian women that he had transported here. Also it appears that Hank and Warren have gathered up the final scientist needed for Hank's little think tank. He's obsessed with solving this crisis with mutant births, and he's brought in the best team he can find to tackle it. He's calling them the X-Club. It sounds like a strip joint if you ask me. Meanwhile it seems that the Mayor is starting to wish that maybe she hadn't invited the X-Men to her fair city. With the release of the video from Cooperstown, anti-mutant crimes are on the serious rise. And with Scott accepting any and all refugees, she's afraid that the populace with start to think that he's building a militia. Also Emma has finally captured Sebastian. She's says that she's trying to figure out just what his involvement was in the Genosha massacre. And it seems that the High-Evolutionary has been successful in reactivating Erik's powers. Magneto is back. Well, I guess we have some story-lines ending, and other ones just beginning. Isn't that the way it always is. I'm really impressed with the work that Matt Fraction has been doing on this book. So far I love his stories and the feel that he's bringing them. It looks like Greg Land may be back next issue. But, in the meantime, enjoy the beautiful artwork of Terry Dodson. 507 issues later and this book continues to be the premier title on the shelves. Fan-frikkin-tastic!
