   The X-Men Blue team find themselves in the past, looking at a dead Brotherhood and what appears to be themselves fighting Magneto. Finally Xavier walks up and working to keep him occupied, explains to him that death is imminent. The professor and his students bodyslide before the impact.

I thought only Cable could do that...

   Later they watch footage and Xavier reveals he sensed that they might have company. He and Angel walk to Cerebro and behind the locked door sits the very much incapacitated but real Professor X. Although he's out of it, he still managed to call his original X-Men home.

Professor X is hammered.

   Those five, plus Jimmy and Bloodstorm now float between realms with the original, evil Magneto. He sees multiple time streams - the totality of time, and though the other X-Men fear Jean’s mouth will get them into a fight, he stands down. They explain to him that they were sent back in time by he himself and Xavier. Slowly it begins to set in that those other X-Men were the ones they saw previously. But how did they change so much? The best bet they can think of is take these alternate X-Men down.

"I thought you'd never ask..."

   When they arrive back in the timeline, they’re in the mansion but there’s some others waiting for them. They ask why this timeline’s Xavier called them back when a battle erupts. But as Magneto begins to strike, the facade fades and Xorn’s glowing eyes shine through. There standing before them is a new Brotherhood, lead by Charles Xavier the III. What will happen next should be totally and completely awesome but unfortunately we’ll have to wait as this issue is left to be continued.

Old Man Deadpool? If he puts his mask on, nobody would know the difference.

   My buddy Sean floated this out to me that Xorn would be part of a new temporary X-Men team, among others. So I wasn’t completely surprised to see the old favorite. But as far as him coupled with these other sometimes villains, I think we might really have something here. This series has absolutely hit it’s stride and Cullen Bunn is taking it to the next level. Not to mention that RB Silva is an amazing artist, that honestly be on this book full time. I really like what they have cooking up here. I give this one a 10/10.
