   In War Room X in the Savage Land, Psylocke tries again to reach Archangel, who pulls her into his mind and shows her the destroyed city of Green Ridge, Colorado. Hordes of Archangel clones fly above the chaotic scene and he tells her it's up to them to stop him from doing all this. She tells Magneto and the two of them prep the Blackbird for a trip to Green Ridge.
   Meanwhile, Monet and Sabretooth stalk the sewers of New York for their informant, who turns out to be Callisto. After trying to kill Creed, Monet gets her to calm down and they discuss the matter at hand: About how all the Morlocks have been dying. Back at Green Ridge, Betsy and Mags walk the greeting card like streets of Green Ridge. They sense it's a cover of some sort, and Magneto explains how the Dark Riders in their hunt to kill mutant healers, were trying to prove something to unseen masters. There's no doubt these masters were somehow connected to Apocalypse and Archangel. Finally they see where the town is slowly commuting to: A church tent with a service being conducted by a creepy evangelist type introducing the crowd to their savior, the wingless, brainwashed and normal looking Warren Worthington III.
   The epilogue of the issue shows a panel on the Fact Channel debating the need to pass legislation to track and watch mutants. Plus viewers watching from the Hellfire Club to the Uncanny Avengers HQ to the Mojoverse. At the heart of the discussion is the destruction of Genosha seen in the previous issue. Later we see Magneto with Xorn getting a therapy session in Tibet, where it's revealed that the real reason he blew it up was so he couldn't use it as another mutant refuge in the future...
   Pretty good issue overall. Well written and so many plot points, they had to include a mini-story at the end. This issue also had more cameos nodding to old X-Men than I could count - shots of Rogue to one of my favorite villains of all time - Mojo. I'd give it a 8/10.
