As Polaris breaks free from Malice’s control, she promises aid to Gazing Nightshade and her Raksha. Meanwhile Magneto refuses Havok’s offer, pointing out his allies are no real friends to mutants. They attack him with all the power of their secondary mutations. Taxing him to the breaking point, he doses on his own hidden vial of mothervine and escapes.

| BINGO! |
Back at the infirmary, Jimmy and Bloodstorm return with Xorn. Daken and Briar Raleigh equally walk up the stoop, later to be joined by an injured Magneto. Watching the mothervine bombs drop around the world, Briar reveals to him the new team of X-Men she’s assembled.

| Look what I did, Dad! |
Out in deep space, a powerless Danger drifts with the four remaining time displaced X-Men aboard. They work on the ship to return home, while back on Earth, the mothervine bombs begin affecting humans and mutants coast to coast. The new X-Men attack the sentinels sent to help on Havok’s behalf, but with nobody alive to interrogate, they wait for the killer robots to call for backup.

| GOOD/[NOT GOOD] |
Xorn works to control former Acolyte Unuscione but her new secondary mutation makes her unstable. The rest of the new X-Men try to calm down the new mutants, but suddenly their approaching aircraft explodes, littering the city with debris. Scores of the newly mutated rise and fight the X-Men...

| It sure is a good thing the X-Men have 10,000 Blackbirds. |
The issue wraps as Miss Sinister reveals Havok's plan. The mothervine not only works to create mutants, but also for this new collective to control them. Emma argues with Alex that this wasn't what she signed for. Meanwhile at the infirmary, the Mauraders arrive unannounced as Magneto has to defend home base. Problem is that they're not alone. The Mothervine mutants close in on them as well... What's left to happen next? We'll have to wait to find out as this story arc is left to be continued.

| "We came as soon as we heard..." |
As this series is now the longest tenured current X-book, Cullen Bunn still proves that he's one of the best at his craft. X-Men Blue has dipped at times but rarely strays from everything you want in a book like this. it's well written and these two books are filled with beautiful artwork. I'm excited about where this is headed. I give these two a 9/10.
