The issue opens with Idie, Icemen, Beast, and Cyclops still fighting the Blob, and with Iceman finally able to relax a little, he and Idie work up a shake-and-bake move that throws him hundreds of feet away. Cyclops stops for a second to pat the team on the back just in time to let his guard down and get hit by a drunk driver.
Kid Apocalypse runs up to the car and realizes who the driver is - another former X-Nemesis, Toad. As he makes this realization Beast is being thoroughly beaten mercilessly by the Blob. Across town, Wolverine tries to shake off the breakup she just experienced from Angel, but just as she's thinking about it, he flies away into a fiery stream and explodes into Blob, saving Idie in the process who's again busy inner-rambling about God. And just as Blob stomps him, he slams a piece of rebar into Blob's eye and crashes back down onto him, finally incapacitating him for good..
The issue wraps with Kid Apocalypse informing the team about Scott bring taken hostage by Toad. There's a peak of him tied to an alter inside the Parisian Catacombs underground and the Toad making some rather threatening conjecture. We're left to wait for what's coming in the next issue.
Overall this was a pretty good issue. I think this is probably at the top of the list when it comes to X-books right now. If Uncanny is the flagship title (which is debatable) this title isn't far from it. Plus old villains and young X-Men makes it almost a classic set in modern times. I give it a 9/10.
