Man, it took me a long time to get through that week. 33 books last week, altogether. That's alot, when I'm usually around 20 to 24. But these next couple of weeks are pretty slim, so . . I should be getting back on track soon. Anyways, on with this book . . last issue we saw that someone showed up and took Illyana. She was on her way home from school and someone coaxed her into a car. It's not hard to imagine why they want her . . they obviously know that she's Magik. Luckily though, Remy, Ro and Kitty have all come to Russia to see how Peter is doing. When he didn't show up for Logan's funeral, they were concerned. But he's been busy as a member of the Winter Guard, and because of his romance with the Black Widow. When they took her they also attacked and killed the Winter Guard that was set up to protect Peter's parents. Anyways, after a while they get a bead on her location . . obviously a trap. But what are they supposed to do? She at the Karinovski Industrial facility. It's owned by Bohdan Shkuro, head of the Yaroslov cossacks . . a gang, or mob family if you will. When they arrive they're greeted by not only the Cossack, but also his apprentice . . Black Magik. It appears that Illyana has been changed from a 8 year old into a teenager. And the Cossack wants to use her against the X-Men. Meanwhile, back home . . Jean is still trying to figure out what to do about her conflicting emotions and feelings for both Scott and Logan. Charles is working with Moira on trying to find an answer to what's burning out his mutants. Sabretooth is up to his normal shenanigans. And Rogue has made a decision that she's going to stay and fight. She was thinking about leaving before, but then when Sabretooth showed up . . she was pretty certain of it. Now after talking to Remy, and thinking about what Logan would want . . she's decided to stick it out. I'm glad that Chris Claremont is on this book. I really like the feel that he gives this team. They can say that other writers can keep up with him, or handle the team just as well. But in my book . . nobody gives them the same feel as Chris does. Also Tom Grummett is back on pencils for this story-arc. Working with Chris, he also gives this book a good look. I enjoy Tom's work and I really like his interpretation of these characters. I don't know how long they're planning on keeping this title going, but . . I can see it sticking around for quite a while.
