Genius is never appreciated in its own time
This issue picks right off from the previous issue and runs pretty much the same way. There is no fighting but we know the X-men are scattered around the globe and dealing with various Sentinel programs.
There is even mention of various other superheroes such as Iron Man and Thor in the midst of this. Some of the dialogue felt overly political and a tad bit unnecessary. And the main villain hardly seems interesting. If you read the previous issue, you’ll know whom I’m referring to.
Since I’ve cleared all of the bad already, the rift that is to come between Cyclops and Wolverine doesn’t happen in this issue.
Multiple times it feels like that this might be the thing that breaks the straw but it doesn’t happen just yet. In that way, this issue runs like the previous issue as well. Nonetheless, there is extensive attention paid to their relationship which is very noticeable judging from what is teased will happen in the coming month or two.
The coolest moment has to be what comes after this:
The art was good. This hardly feels like an event due to the lack of any tie-ins but rather feels like a good self-contained story arc.
