Since the Inhumans like to time travel so much, why shouldn't the X-Men get into the action, right? Transformed by Apocalypse into one of his horsemen, Colossus fights the rest of his team who are trying desperately to save him over an arc of over 600 mutant embryos. Between tearing off Cerebra's arm, almost killing Jean Grey with it, and throwing Glob about 5 miles into the air, he escapes with what they came for.
Back at X-haven in Limboworld, Collossus's sister Magik trains new mutant Sapna to use her brand new powers. Impressed by her progress, she gives her the honor of wearing her old uniform. Meanwhile back in the future, a distraught Storm almost gives up on the mission, if not for the inspiring half-time speech acumen of Bobby Drake. Resuming their search for the arc and their old teammate, Glob shyly attempts to ask out the beautiful time-trapped Jean Gray, only to be interrupted by the mole-men that attack them on their way. As they hack and bamf their way through them, Logan jumps in to save the original Marvel Girl who explodes through them, proving that she's the type who will rarely need saving.
Seeing as how Magik has tired of waiting for the team to get back, she disobeys Forge and prepares to transport to find them. She better hurry though. As the X-Men prepare to make a run at Apocalypse's fortress, the new four horsemen prepare to fight back with a move familiar to them... This fastball special involves Horsemen versions of Colossus and Deadpool throwing a scary mutated Venom at them. He swallows Logan and the issue concludes with the team figuring out how he's gonna rescue the old man one more time.
I've always thought that Uncanny X-Men would be the perennial flagship X-title, but the more and more I read, the more I realize that this one is certainly receiving the attention du'jour. I give it a 10/10 and can't wait to see #11.
