When the rest of the team doesn't know what to do . . Illyana makes an end-around play and saves the day. Last issue she got pissed about Shan being stuck inside of David's head so she decided to do something about it, and jumped in there herself. She just goes in and starts hacking away at the various personalities. After killing probably a few hundred of them . . remember there's 1000's of them in there now . . she finally gains their cooperation. They open up a path and lead her straight to Shan and Marci. And Marci, who's been there even longer than Shan, leads them straight to 'Davey'. That's when, through her conversations with Marci and David, that they realize that the doll is the key . . it's an anchor of David's, a tie to Moira. They didn't realize it at first because Marci keeps calling it 'Morrie'. Once they have that, and give it back to David . . he's in control again. Meanwhile, Sam, Roberto and Amara are out in the real world fighting Legion, and all his various personalities and powers. Dani wants to help, but since she doesn't have powers anymore Sam's reluctant to put her in the line of fire. She's pissed because Sam sends her away. But, of course, she returns at exactly the right moment and saves Sam's life. However, it appears that they're all about to be undone when Illyana pulls her save and Legion switches back to David. Shortly after, Scott and the X-Men show up. There's a nice scene between Scott and Sam . . who's feeling down about his team getting hurt. It's kind of a 'big-brother' moment. I thought Zeb Wells did a pretty decent job with the story-line through this first arc. We really jumped right back into things with this group. It seems like we're gradually bringing the old team back together. And next issue . . Warlock returns. Diogenes Neves does the art. It's ok. Nothing overly flashy, but a good solid effort. I'm really looking forward to future issues of this title. I loved the first series, and have everything they've been in. I just hope they keep the momentum going and don't put this team through their periods of self-doubt that always seem to plague them. I'm also glad to see Illyana back. Since obviously her story's nowhere near being done. There's a lot of potential with every character in this group. Lots of untapped story-lines.
