   After accidentally assaulting some federal agents, Havok's team of rogue X-Men are on the run. With his backers beginning to crack, he explains to them that he really only assembled them to protect himself. Dejected, he walks away and ends up at the Bar With No Name.

Wish there was a bar with no name in my town.

   Meanwhile, Colonel Callahan decides he's done with the Reavers. It's later revealed that he's basically killed the ones he didn't need anymore, putting Bonebraker and his crew in danger. With Pierce missing as well, whats left of them needs a plan.

And to make matters worse, this old Radio Shack doesn't have WiFi!

   At the bar, James Proudstar talks Havok into not quitting. The rest of his team reconvenes at Piotr Rasputin's apartment when they're surprised by a grenade. Callahan has caught up with them. They fight back but are quickly outnumbered by his Office of National Emergency forces. Banshee goes on a screaming spree but as he flies away, the X-Men surrender.

This X-Team even comes with a zombie Banshee.

   The issue wraps with Havok telling Proudstar he has an idea. As he sees the news of his teammates' capture, he goes on a mission to find the Reavers. When they open the door, he offers to join them as they all seem to have a common enemy in the Colonel. But what's gonna happen next? We'll have to wait to find out as this issue is left to be continued.

Y'all recruiting?

   I've said it before and I'll say it again. This series is on equal footing with X-Men Blue as the best current X-series going at the moment. Matt Rosenberg is a fantastic writer, taking this group of 80's era characters and turning them into a solid, ragtag team of misfits. It's what the X-Men are supposed to be. With all the new books on the horizon, my only hope is that they keep Rosenberg on this series. I give this issue a 9/10.
