The issue opens with a flashback, as a drifter sees an aimless Archangel crash into an abandoned cabin. he regards this as a sign. Later, Magneto and Psylocke venture into Green Ridge, CO to find Warren, and happen upon him, wingless and preaching at a revival. Meanwhile, Sabertooth, Monet, and Callisto stalk the sewers beneath New York as Callisto reveals the New Morlocks - mutants and humans coexisting in peace. There's one problem however - the morlocks are all dying.
Warren tells his friends that the lord healed him of his wings, along with a bunch of other kooky religious conjecture. Betsy reads his mind and sees a tortured Archangel. They later follow him to a strange looking bunker where they sneak inside and find Genocide, the son of Apocalypse. a battle ensues and Warren says his mission is to ensure mutants survive. Magneto gets all mad about this and is blasted by Genocide. Back in the sewers, Monet and Sabertooth find the reason the Morlocks are dying. They're developing some sort of sickness from what turns out to be Monet's brother. The issue concludes with a flashback again, with Archangel muttering to the person who found him of his mission.
Pretty decent book but I feel like this title is undeserving of such a small group of limited X-Men. The fact that Sabertooth and Monet are on this squad just kind of reeks of a "Just Put Them In That Comic" kind of attitude. Guess we'll see where it leads. I've been reading Uncanny since I was a kid. Why stop now? I give it a 7/10.
