2nd Issue
The story picks up right were it left off. Our heroes on their way to downtown Manhattan to deal with the hostage crisis. Meanwhile Dr Kavita Rao just announced to the world that she has found the cure for mutancy. She parades the little girl from the very first scene in issue one to the crowd and informs them that she will be their lab rat for their new vaccine. At the exact same moment the X-Men have arrived on the scene and are considering their options. The gun totting thugs didn't concern them but they were concerned about the big villain whom none of them had seen before. We quickly discover that the hostage taking was only a ploy to draw the X-Men out. Before the group of bad guys know what's happening they X-Men have already made their move. Kitty Pride stealthy fazing people through the floor while Emma Frost plays game with the minds of the weaker assailants. And while they are distracted Beast crashes through a window while Cyclops and Wolverine burst through the walls crawls out and optic blast blazing. followed by Emma Frost whose in her diamond form. They quickly make short work of the thugs and find themselves face to face with the big bad. A fight ensues and they get their butts handed to them by this alien bad guy whose clearly an alien. Things were looking bleak when reinforcements unexpected arrived in the form of Lockheed, Kitty's pet dragon. He burns the alien bad guy by breathing fire on him. Later the X-Men are standing before the press answering dumb questions. Back at the Xavier School for the gifted where news of the cure have reached the students. And emotions range from elation to terrified and confused. Of course Emma's first thought is to kill Dr Kavita Rao, an opinion seconded by Wolverine. Emma's all to aware of the implications while the others don't seem to concerned. This begins the tension between Emma and Kitty. She tells Kitty that she's back with the X-Men because she asked that she be there. She tells here that she need someone on the team she hadn't fought alongside, Someone who would be inclined to watch her if she ever went astray. Kitty lets her know that she would keep an eye on her anyway before phasing through a wall-so cool.
Meanwhile Beast sneaks into Benetech to see his old friend and colleague and friend Dr Kavita Rao. She justifies her reasoning for creating the cure. Beast true reason for visiting her was to find out if the cure really works. Thus concludes the 2nd issue. This was another strong issue. The art has really grown on me. We're seeing the dynamics of the new team starting to play out. A team where Emma Frost seems firmly entrenched in the role of second in command- filling the void left by Jean Grey. I find the story so far to be very compelling as it builds to something much bigger. And what that something is I can't wait to find out.
