As Charles is digging through his past, trying to rebuild memories . . he realizes that quite a long time ago he made a promise to Rogue that he would find a way to cure her. Now, apparently, he can't do anything else until he confronts that memory. So, he goes and gathers up Remy and they head off for the Australian Outback. Unfortunately, before they can get there, she has another visitor. It's Danger, the X-Men's Danger-room brought to life. Well . . as close to life as a sentient robot can be. We're not exactly sure why she's after Rogue, but . . I'm guessing it has something to do with Mystique. Rogue has all of these personalities stuck in her head and Mystique keeps trying to gain control. It seems like Danger is trying to push her to the point where she has no other option . . in order to survive she'll has to relinquish control over to her mother. At the end of the book, it looks like the scenario where she confronts the Marauders in the sewers may be the point where she has no option. Meanwhile, Charles, with Remy's help, is trying to pin-point the other 4 life-signs that he's been able to read. When he finally finds them, they turn out to be the Shi'ar salvage crew that came down when they got the energy reading off of Danger. Basically they want to salvage her. They think she may be worth something. I'm thinking that these 4 are going to have to work with Charles and Remy if any of them are to have any hope of finding Rogue or making it out of this. Mike Carey is doing a great job with the story in this book. But I think the real star is Scot Eaton who has been turning in some amazing art. All in all, I think this book is very strong right now. I'm not sure what all's going to be resolved or changed by Charles little trip through the past, but . . that's what the journey's for. I don't think it'll be over any time soon.
