This issue wraps up the Magik story-line, but . . in the usual tradition of Chris Claremont, there's still a dozen plot threads bandying about out there. The defeat of the Cossack comes at Lil' 'Ro's hands. The Cossack tries to change her, as he did Shadowcat at the end of the last issue, but 'Ro fights back. And that courage, I think, inspires Kitty to fight back on her own. Once the Cossack's control is in question, the Black Widow puts a bullet in his head and everything goes back to normal. Well . . except for Illyana. She claims that her Black Magik form is her true form. With the Cossack down, she retreats to the shadow realms. Although I imagine it's only a matter of time until we see her again. Meanwhile, Sabretooth, as well as Dugan and Fury have a mystery of their own. Sabe's found out that one of Fury's men was stealing tech from Cerebro and taking it to the Consortium. Now it's up to Dugan and Sabe's to figure out if any other of Fury's men have gone rogue. Kurt and Rogue have dug up a new mystery in Mississippi. It appears that Amanda is in some kind of trouble there and these 2 are going to have to go to save her. Also, a romance seems to be brewing between Jean and . . Hank? We saw a glimpse of it last issue, but it looks like they've decided to take the next step. Scott is still in Alaska with his parents and son. Although I don't think there's good things on the horizon for that family. And finally in Wakanda . . something is brewing. We only get a glimpse, but I think it has something to do with the other Ororo. You know . . the one that killed Wolverine. I really like this book. I don't know how much attention it's getting, but . . I really enjoy the stories with Chris back at the helm. And with 2 issues a month, this book is rolling along fast and furious. I can't wait to see where he takes us. I'm also enjoying the working relationship between Chris and Tom Grummett. I think Tom's doing some of the best work of his career here, and it has to be because of Chris' inspiration. They both seem to be enjoying themselves on this book. Although, Peter Vale will be doing the art on the next chapter, Tom will still be doing the covers. Also, in the next issue or two, were going to be getting a time-line of what was going on in the regular Marvel Universe, as far as the X-Men go, while this storyline is going on. That should be interesting. Anyways, #15 is a new storyline. A new place to jump in . . if you're not following it. It really is a good book. Give it a chance!
