Havok is back... problem is though is that nobody seems to want him around. While attempting to teach a class at the X-Mansion, Kitty makes it clear that the now wanted criminal isn't welcome in the X-Men at the moment.
Meanwhile Colonel Callahan has the Reavers kidnap Miss Sinister. Shortly afterwards, he informs them that they're currently under his command, and he intends to use them to stop the X-Men.
Havok continues his quest to build an unofficial team. Near the top of his list is Dr. Hank McCoy, who dismisses his class at Harvard to talk with his old friend. Their conversation is quickly interrupted by the Reavers. The two are joined by a zombiefied Banshee who zips out of some unknown location to help fight. With the screaming at a fevered pitch, Warpath also pops in out of nowhere to join the battle and the four are able to make quick work of the robotic assassins.
Beast stays behind to dissect the cyborgs while Alex and James check on their old friend Colossus. Fresh off a breakup with Kitty and currently on a massive, vodka fueled bender, the Russian is in - as long as he gets to hit somebody.
With news that he's downloaded some info, Beast informs Havok he's 36th on a list of X-Men to kill. One road trip later, the new team finds themselves in a barren nightclub. Former teammate Dazzler takes the stage, later meeting her old friends after the show along with ex-X-man Forge. Although the former mulletted tinkerer refuses their invite, a skirmish develops outside the club, and Dazzler is apparently in.
As the group fights back, they eventually get the upperhand and beat their opponents back. When the dust settles, Warpath grabs some identification off the knocked out gunmen and reveals some federal badges. Looks like this team is going more and more rogue. What's gonna happen next? We'll have to wait to find out as this issue is left to be continued.
So with Charles Soule out, head Punisher as well as Phoenix Resurrection author Matthew Rosenberg comes to the rescue. Also with former Spider-Man artist Oscar Bazaldua and Hulk artist Greg Land, i'd venture to say this title is finally on the right track. After the constant shifting of pencilers, maybe we'll get a little consistency. As far as writing, gotta say it's a pretty good story, if anything but a whole lot of B-squad X-Men.. I give this one an 8/10.

| Well, that was pretty fast. |
