With everything that's going on in Utopia . . Nation X . . this issue leads us away from that conflagration. Blindfold comes to Scott with the visions, dreams, that she's had of Destiny. According to what Destiny's told her, there's also a series of events unfolding on Muir island. In those events, Rogue will die. Unless . . they can get there in time to save her. But, since rogue is still in the midst of the X-Men, wouldn't the obvious decision be to keep her there? I mean . . if she's going to die on Muir island, then . . don't send her to Muir island. Right? I mean . . is there some logic there that's escaping me? Anyways . . so Scott sends a team there to investigate. He puts Kurt in charge, and sends along with him . . Colossus, Magneto, Psylocke, Husk, Trance, Blindfold and of course Rogue. I will say though that I'm glad to see the the Young X-Men are getting peppered into the more seasoned X-Men teams. I was afraid that they were going to get lost in the shuffle of all of this. They're a great bunch of characters, and kids. It would be a shame if they weren't utilized. I mean, we were all just kind of expecting them to be cannon fodder now . . right? So, the team arrives and nothing is going on. The place is a ghost town. But it isn't long before they find out that Destiny, and therefore Blindfold, were being manipulated by another resurrected mutant. While Selene is using the techno-organic virus, and magic, to resurrect these mutants, we've also seen that some of them are still trying to follow their own agenda's. We first saw it with Doug, and now Destiny has left Necrosha and come to Muir island to help Blindfold. They're going to need all the help they can get because the mutant manipulating all of these events is none other than Kevin MacTaggert, Proteus. I think this is what they mean when they talk about going from the frying pan into the fire. It appears that Proteus was possessing Destiny, but he's now in the body of Blindfold. This was a great story by Mike Carey. Clay Mann does the pencils. He's an ok artist. It's just that the feel that he brings to the book is different from the others that have come before. Although there were some truly exceptional panels. Adi Granov does the cover. It's hard for me to comment on this because this is just the beginning of the story. But . . it should definitely be interesting. I know this doesn't have anything to do with this, but . . in Exiles they had to go to some pretty extreme measures to beat this guy. I'm just wondering how this group is going to handle him.
