Cyclops, Prestige, Kitty and Longshot face off with Magneto although they have a hard time placing the scenario. Their uniforms change into their early 90's appearance and as Magneto moves to attack Rachel, Scott has had enough. He announces that working with Magneto is a mistake, a revelation Shadowcat Kitty and Marvel Girl Rachel were unaware of.

| Wait - you were serious about that?! WE THOUGHT YOU WERE KIDDING! |
Meanwhile Team 2 fights in Asgard, later being teleported into The X-Tinction Agenda. Young Iceman and Warren have no knowledge of the event and Wipeout neutralizes Angel's powers. Later a magistrate murders him. Iceman charges and is machine gunned, leading to both Storm and Logan also being killed.

| In Mojo-World, either X-Men die easily or they've just been REALLY lucky the last 50 years. |
In the studio, Mojo declares a plot twist as the monitors behind him show scores of X-Men dying. Major Domo whispers something in his ear and we go to Inferno. Goblin Queen Jean is eventually challenged by the real Madelyn Pryor, choking her and asking if it's any wonder Scott truly loved her more. At the same time, Kitty has a hard time understanding how the X-Men are working with the apparently alive Magneto when they're shifted into yet another era.

| Just pretend I'm not here. |
At the school, Anole, Eye Boy, and Nature Girl watch as they're confined to the area in a forcefield and unable to assist. That leads to the X-Men facing off against the Avengers. Cap hits Kitty with his shield and Prestige quickly knocks him down. Back in the Inferno simulation, Jean makes fast work of the Goblin Queen and the scenery changes yet again. This time they're in the Savage Land, with some of the newest additions of the team being unfamiliar. Hank points out that the situation has quickly gotten worse, with the Horsemen of Apocalypse standing guard while a Phoenix/Sentinel hybrid braces to attack. With that, we're left to be continued.

| Oh great! THIS! |
With the Blue and Gold books being published bi-monthly, this story is advancing at a rate I'm not too experienced with. Mojo is one of the coolest supervillains ever but with a new chapter of this crossover literally coming out every week, these X-Men are fighting in almost real time. Ok, not really. But you know what I'm saying. It's neat to showcase all these important moments in the series history, not to mention see these newer...older X-Men handle them. But it's seeming like more and more of a cheap thrill. I'm still down to see where it goes though. I give it a 7/10.
