    second after a student was dispatched last issue, those left break free to a) try and make contact with the material world, b) try to save the life thats lost, and c) take the one responsible head on. the kids that managed to escape the mayhem at Belasco's castle - are in dire need of better help. in being introduced to Darkchild, they easily grasp why Belasco himself wont tolerate her. back at whats left of the mansion a rescue team tries to mount as a vicious brawl takes place below(?)..the chapter wraps with Pixie making an unwilling sacrifice. alot was jammed into this issue, but the pacing suffered a little. i coulda waited till next issue to know of any home base rally - cause it made the realm seem less like peril and more like a standard abduction.

When I first saw the solicitation for New X-Men #37 (37?), the combination of a possible return for Illyana ('ol school New Mutants fans here) along with the GORGEOUS art by Niko Henrichon made this a no-brainer for me. Man, was I disappointed when I found out that Henrichon only did "selected" pages and the r...
