THE HATE MACHINE pts III and IV
Written by Tom Taylor
Penciled by Mahmud Asrar
Covers by Travis Charest
Published April 11 and May 16, 2018
In the middle of the night, Cassandra Nova breaks into the X-Mansion and doses Storm with a test tube, uttering a mission to protect Wakanda. Meanwhile in India, the X-Men fight a sentinel. Suddenly Trinary is able to completely control the machine. Later she identifies a part of the robot that hates mutants, a directive similarly inside the nearby protesting humans.
They fly the sentinel to Wakanda as Gambit deals with other mutant protesters in Louisiana. As the machine closes in, they see Storm who strikes them all down with a bolt of lightning. In the water, Jean is able to tell that Storm is being controlled just like the protesters
Jean faces off with the now mutant hating Storm. Scrambling her mind's mission, she falls to the ground and tries to end her own life with lightning before Gentle expands over her, protecting her. Jean explains to Black Panther that their injured need urgent medical attention.
Jean uses Black Panther and Trinary and removes the nanite controlling Storm. Later they examine the tiny controller, determining it could end the mutant race. They decide to recon in Atlantis and seek Namor's help. Using Wakandan technology, they don suits to block the sentinel nanites, announcing the underwater hideout as their first new mutant nation.
The issue wraps with Cassandra Nova showing off her nanites to various world leaders. With Forge working under her control, she demonstrates by one of the newly infected leaders killing a closeted mutant guard. What happens next? We'll have to wait as this issue is left to be continued.
With Tom Taylor slowly recovering from All New Wolverine's cancellation, he's managed to save the characters by spinning them off into an X book. This could only help, as there's just too many characters in the franchise looking for regular appearances. This book started off slow but it's slightly gaining ground, and I'm starting to look a little forward to it. I give these two an improved 7/10.
