I’m happy to finally be getting a bit more with Joseph, because what’s the point of making such a character if he’s just going to hang out and be broody? I don’t find him all that engaging really, and I’m sure that won’t change, but I at least appreciate him doing something. Plus, we’re getting some new villains, it seems. Maybe not. We’ll see. We begin back in Guatemala, where Sister Maria is being chased by some scary robot who wants to know where Joseph is. It’s not clear what, exactly the robot is, or if it’s been sent by someone. Either way, the thing is about to kill Sister Maria, when it’s destroyed by Maggott, who is also looking for Joseph.In space Lilandra is trying to deal with the aftermath of the Phalanx’s destruction of her people. It’s hit her hard, but she still gives a speech and throws a banquet in remembrance of the dead.  Joseph is offended by the celebration, and feels that everyone should be mourning instead. Rogue promises to tell him everything about the time when he was Magneto if he’ll just promise to not interrupt the banquet.Elsewhere, Gambit is burying the Shi’ar dead, and reminiscing about his “checkered past” (again). The next morning, the team head home, with Deathbird escorting them. Bishop and Deathbird have a chat about Shi’ar history and she destroys a book about herself. Then there’s an anomaly so everyone has to go figure out what it is.Apparently there’s a huge ship near them. The bigger ship is also headed towards Earth, but it destroys the stargate and throws the X-Men’s ship into a spin. Next time: “The Story of the Year!” -- source link
