Dark X-Men #3 - Marvel

Ok. This was an interesting issue. But . . I'm not sure what it all means. Nate Gray, who reappeared last issue, has come to Avengers tower to confront Norman Osborn. Which obviously puts him at odds with the Avengers. Norman's Dark X-Men come running also, but . . most of them decide to stick to the side-lines for a little while until they get a chance to see who's winning. Omega is afraid to get to close to Nate. He's not sure what absorbing his powers will do to him. As is Mimic. But, at the same time, Mimic is entranced by Nate's precognitive powers. He wants the opportunity to see what's going to happen. Anyways, Nate puts up a pretty good fight, but he really seems to have a problem defending himself against Ares. Ares ends up taking him down, but when Norman goes in to examine the body, it appears that Nate self-combusts. However, Mystique can see through the ruse. She exposes Nate, as he is now posing as Norman Osborn. So . . does that mean that Norman is dead? Or is Nate just trying to fix the world that he sees that Norman has corrupted? Which would put Norman . . where? I thought Paul Cornell and Leonard Kirk did a pretty good job with this issue. But . . it left me with more questions than answers. And by the way . . Simone Bianchi drew an amazing cover.
