The Good
Secrets- Psylocke….you sly and clever girl; Central to this plot is British born telepath Elizabeth Braddock who unknown to Cyclops has been a member of Wolverine’s Uncanny X-force kill squad since his version was disbanded. She brings Tabula Rasa to Cyclops attention because, well, his team is the only one suited to deal with the mess that wolverine’s team has made, or more specifically she’s made. She confides with the only person on the team with possibly even more secrets than she does, Magneto. Dangerous is the best word to describe the secrets mounting in Cyclops camp. It also adds credence to Wolverine coming clean to his teaching staff in Wolverine and the X-men #4, secrets can destroy a team from within.
Art- Love him or hate him but when Greg Land doesn’t blatantly reuse art in an issue the book looks damn good. This was one of the best Greg Land issues I’ve had in my hands in years, kudos!
Humor- Psylocke’s quip about being on many teams since Wolverine made it look so easy is a classic. It pokes fun at every character who magically appears in every high profile comic book on the rack with no plausible explanation. Tongue in cheek is best suited for these situations, good one Gillen.
Continuity- Love how the events of Uncanny X-force have impacted and lead to this story. Nice use of recent history guys.
Balance-This issue presents a reasonable personality difference between Cyclops and Storm as to why she’s his new second in command. While him and Wolverine grew close their personalities seemed to blend together, they became one mind on almost every situation before schism. Storm on the other hand is the antithesis of Cyclops they are always at odds. He’s brooding, she’s happy, he’s a general, she’s a mother, if things continue in this vein I look forward to much more from this dynamic duo.
The Bad
Cover- Not very impressed by the bland cover which features Psylocke wrapped in battle embrace with a monster, not feeling it guys!
The Ugly
Loving the team, loving the chemistry, loving the art, loving the possibility! 4.5/5
