The Rundown: Cyclops and his team take on a team calling themselves the X-Men while Magneto goes after a dangerous new mutant.
The battle continues in the middle of the snow-covered forest as Cassandra Nova and her team look on. As they admire the battle from afar, there is some dissention in the ranks as they squabble about their next steps. On the outskirts of the town, Magneto takes on the rampaging new mutant in the body of a fallen sentinel.
Seeing the battle taking some dangerous turns for Magneto, Ben decides to do something desperate to help despite Beast’s objections. On the battlefield, Cyclops shows this new team what being an X-Man is really about while Xorn locates Quentin in a surprising state. At the same time, the Factory gets an uninvited guest.
The Story: MacKay delivers a thrilling adventure in this story. I love how all three elements of the story add to the drama and tension of the plot. The action is thrilling throughout the story and I loved seeing what happened to Quentin after the battle. There is great drama throughout the story and everything builds to a great cliffhanger and I look forward to seeing what happens next.
The Art: Stegman delivers beautifully detailed and visually thrilling art throughout the story. I love the intense imagery of the action a lot.
