It starts with Xavier chatting with the two-headed guy. Quite chummy. He did what he needed to unfreeze Charle's assets and his sister's operation has been paid for. Much love going around.
Then Xavier gets a call for Mrs Pryde. She's worried about Kitty. She knows she has a new boyfriend but apparently her daughter doesn't talk about him to her and asks if he's one of Xavier's student. Either Mrs Pryde doesn't own a TV or she does and the info about Spider-Man is evry confused in the public's mind. She hopes Xavier doesn't have Kitty doing anything too strenuous. He assures her not. Ah!
Next scene the X-Men are in action against 'The friends of Humanity'. Collosal A-holes who are attacking an hospital because it provides free-clinic service to mutants.
Asses are being royally kicked until suddenly the leader turns into a Hulk type of mutant. He of course doesn't accept his condition and blames the X-Men.
Next we move to Nightcrawler who is at the hospital and sees Dazzler come out of her coma. But he doesn't talk to her in that panel.
Then we see that Jean is in containment. She asks Xavier to let her put, he wants some more observation. We see she's schized out of her mind and sees small devils all around her even tough she acts normal in front of Xavier.
Back to the X-Men, they got knocked out in
Back to the X-Men, the Hulk wannabe has pretty much knocked out everyone (Where's a good telepath when you need one!). But fear not, the Magician casually deals with him without breaking a sweat. Starts by dropping a big rock on him and when that doesn't work he just turns him back to human and slug him. Hey, no reason that wouldn't also work on the real Hulk. He is VERY powerful.
Back to the mansion, Kurt is back moping. Hey, shouldn't he be happy that Dazzler woke up? We might get a flash back next issue. I think more happened at the hospital.
Fury arrives. He's seen the Magician in action and wants him for his team. Xavier says no. Fury says he the Magician is (barely) underage so he doesn't have juridiction but he talked to the kids parents and...
Wait, says Xavier. He points out to Fury that he said the parents had been killed when he brought the Magician.
Fury says back up, he never has seen the kid before today.
To quote Xavier in the last panel :
Something is very wrong here.
Liked it. Art okay, story is best we've seen yet from Kirkman IMO.
3.5/5
