Uncanny X-Men #515 REVIEWED, Get Ready For Nation X

G-Man looks at the beginning of Nation X.

The Utopia storyline is over.  Now that the mutants have this wonderful island, what will they do next?  Part of the problem is they're kind of trapped there.  It'll remain to be seen if all the mutants there will stay on the island or take their chances by leaving.  This storyline is just beginning and already we're seeing quite a bit of tension.  I have a feeling it's not going to be a happy time.  
 

  
Matt Fraction and Greg Land are back together.  We're seeing some new characters.  My question is, are they mutants?  Have they addressed the 198 mutants left after M Day?  Wasn't it known who all these mutants were?  I'm assuming the new characters we see in the beginning are mutants so where did they come from?  
 
I think it'll be interesting to see if Scott can hang on to the leadership of the X-Men and this new community.  We see that Beast isn't too happy with the current events.  There's also Professor X wanting to tell Scott how things should be.  Let's not forget about Emma and Namor.  I wasn't too thrilled when the X-Men moved to San Francisco.  It seemed too convenient.  I didn't think they could just move out and declare the entire city a safe haven for mutants.  At least with the Utopia island, it's something they can call their own.  But if you've read the issue, you've seen who drops by on the last page...
