Anyway, the action in this issue is a bit confusing, no it is really confusing. But it is also very cool and a bit comical at times. There is an awesome, yet somehow misplaced, or superfluous battle between the non-psychic X-Men and a sort of religious fanatic version of a Sentinel who would seem to be a fan of corporeal mortification – I’m telling you he is whacky. I don’t know if Sentinel’s can feel pain, but if they could this guy would crave it. Oh, what Scott does to him, very cool. Meanwhile all the kiddos, and teachers with the inner eye are laid out. Why? The Danger…Room…of…course…

So the team is up against a terrible foe, and we are up against a month and three dollars if we ever want to figure out what in the blazes is going on right now. I am lost, but I enjoy it. Joss Whedon is a great writer, and always full of surprises. Better than his plot twistings and turnings is his dialogue. It is wonderful to read a comic with so few one-liners. As Fumanchu might say, these aren’t the forces of witty vs. the forces of sarcastic, but rather a set of people with very believable lines, i.e. when Wolvie goes to kill a certain something in this issue, rather than say something smart-aleck of fancy-pants, he just says “stay the hell down.” - Simple and to the point, no puns, or wordplay. I like it.
