Pandora´s box
Some characters are so powerful and have such mysterious powers that writers often have a tendency to lean on them in order to create a good story - in the X Universe, that has happened to the Phoenix, to Charles Xavier, to Magneto and now it´s happening again to Legion - Xavier and Moira´s son always was a wild card, showing up just moments before chaos reigns in, this happened in the Age of Apocalypse and now it´s happening in this Age of X - the structure created by Carey (the fact that he hinted the plot in issue # 244, pages 11 and 12 is so interesting) about how Legion fits in all this fake world was indeed the work of a mind that thinks every detail, resulting in a cool (no perfect) saga for the X-Men - this issue was about the wake of Xavier and him telling his students about the true nature of "X", explaining how they have been living in a world of lies and illusions - the art and colors are very good too, but I fear that this issue somehow has emptied the conclusion, because it would be natural that the mutants divide among themselves, one group defending Xavier and the other one defending Legion and X, but because of X´s last maneuver, I really don´t think how can this be - I´m beting that Legion will turn against X and thus save the day, perhaps with the toll of his own life - let´s see the conclusion.
