It appears that this whole story . . or at least it's conclusion, is going to revolve around James Proudstar. Eli Bard returns to Genosha this issue with the blade that Selene needs for her ascension. Apparently, that's the tool that she uses to kill all of these souls that she's raised. And in turn, they increase her power until she becomes a Goddess. He also brought James back with him. As a reward, Selene grants him the sweet silence of death. But . . in response to their teammates abduction, the X-Men arrive shortly after. The conversation between Josh and Porter is interesting. The Vanisher doesn't want to stick around, but he wants the tumor removed. Josh informs him that he already did that when they were in the future. Any problems he has now is because he's dying of Syphilis. Also, when Josh aligned the DNA between Rahne and her baby, it appears that she got some of the baby's strength out of the process. She's become incredibly strong, and her skin can probably resist bullets now. Anyways, they jump into the battle with all these undead mutants. Their plan is to kill Selene and rescue James. As it turns out, their battle with all these risen souls is playing right in Selene's hands. She begins the process of absorbing every soul on the island. However, just before that happens, Johnny tells James, 'Once Selene begins to feed, her power will grow. She will leave no soul on this island alive. But she will not stop. Her hunger will only grow. Selene will consume this world, leaving only ash in her wake. And then she will feed on the spirit realm itself. She is the darkness, James. You must stop her. Stop me before I kill you. Find a way.' Just then Vanisher pops in and saves James. However, Blink's powers hurt him. But he still manages to pull out the rest of X-Force just before Selene begins her feeding frenzy. But I'm not sure that he's going to survive much after that. They end up deep underground somewhere. And James tells them that Selene is a god now, but . . he's going to show them how to kill her. This story-line is finally going to be wrapped up in X-Force #25 . . next month. I think it's an interesting story-line, but I also think that the real point of all of this is what's going to happen afterwards. What happens to the souls that Selene has brought back but weren't on the island during the feeding? But once X-Force takes her out, and she no longer has sway over them . . what happens then? Will they go back to the way they were, or will they still be undead versions of themselves? I'm not sure who all is out there, but we do know that Destiny escaped from the island before all of this happened. I would imagine that there's others. So . . even though next issue wraps up Necrosha, I think we still have a long way to go with the after-effects and repercussions. This was another great issue by Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost and Clayton Crain. But I think the best is yet to come.
