This is why Sentinels are a dumb idea. You sick them on mutants and they blast their way through innocent civilians because they are freaking huge robots!
Anyway, lots of interesting things in this issue. For one, nice to see an exploration of budding mutant powers. Most of the main characters in the X-titles are older or somehow skipped a lot of the training phase, so it’s nice to see these new mutants working on trying to sort themselves out.
Magneto… still don’t know why he looks like Christopher Lloyd, or truly what side of the fence he is playing. All I do know is that he really does suck at relationships. Now he’s going to be reporting to Dazzler… who may be Mystique (depends if Mystique took her spot permanently or just long enough to do something). All I know is that things aren’t gonna end well.
Speaking of ending well, a pro-mutant rally is quite an interesting thing to see, and Bendis is trying really hard, but not too hard, to paint Cyclops as right. Considering how Remender is writing ‘the other side’ in Uncanny Avengers, you almost want to side with Cyclops just on the principle of the thing. You know, if you didn’t side with him already.
