The X-odus Cliché 1
OverviewExodus is on a mission to kill Cyclops. Wolverine & Rogue argue whether they should warn the X-Men on Utopia while they're trying to stop Exodus. Generally there's lots of fighting; good guys against bad guys, and sometimes without the bad guys.The GoodIt's entertaining and there's plenty of flashy action. This is still Mr Christos Gage's first story arc in X-Men Legacy and it has been an entertaining & controversial start. As the action literally heats up (or cools off in Iceman...

Betraying The Betrayer 0
OverviewAll the mutants inside Fortress X question Magneto' tactics. Rather unsurprisingly, Magneto didn't really kill Legacy & Gambit in the previous issue. In fact, he'd hidden them in an underground chamber where they exchanges all his suspicions about Fortress X. Magneto sends them on a mission to find the central most room (that he has no prior knowledge of) in the tower that he'd made. They exchange a kiss & skills (thanks to Legacy's powers) and discover Doctor Nemesis held in two...

Apocalyptic X-Position 4
OverviewThe gathered mutant forces tell stories as they wait for the human forces to attack. Each story becomes a flashback, giving an insight into how the world became warped beyond recognition. The Good All of it. In all seriousness, the entire issue simply oozes quality! It's so rare that I enjoy an issue so much.

Blinded By The Quality 4
OverviewBlindfold's confusing premonition powers led her on a goose-chase around Utopia. This rapid tour of the island brought her face-to-face with monsters of different kinds.

Meanwhile, Rogue took steps to warn the higher echelons of the X-Men & set about aiding Box in hunting down missing X-Men. The overall plot of the issue is...
