It’s not the most exciting issue, but it’s pretty solid. I don’t have a ton to say about it, which is fine, because I have way too much reading to catch up on. Lilandra is still alive and being held captive by the Phalanx. The team and Deathbird are on their way to save her. Initially, Deathbird can’t think of why Lilandra would have surrendered, instead of going down fighting. She then realizes that Lilandra must have made the choice in order to save the Shi’ar children, who are eggs, which is weird. Rogue sends Deathbird and Bishop to save the kids while the rest of them go to get Lilandra and fight the Phalanx. Bastion’s forces are ready to kill all the mutants, and Robert Kelly isn’t sure it’s the right thing to do. Like, dude, come on. You keep feeling this way and it keeps being a mess. Bishop and Deathbird arrive in the nest and she collapses from her original wound but still wants to fight. Joseph starts having Magneto flashbacks but the team want him to ignore them and keep a low profile. Unfortunately, Joseph is too incensed at the injustice of the Phalanx killing everyone to remain calm, so he starts an assault on the Phalanx.The team are having some problems but Hank’s program to defeat the Phalanx works. But probably the fight isn’t really over because this is a comic book. Next time: “Moving On”  -- source link
