Rated T+
Cable has put together a Team of X from different periods in time to stop the Externals from being killed. Will Shatterstar, X-23, Doop, Armor and Longshot survive the experience? Will the Externals still fall? Read Full Review
At certain points Bastion makes this sound like a kid playing with his action figures, but at the same time has its own over-the-top 90s charm. This time-jumping mutant soap opera is a blast. Read Full Review
It's a decent enough issue, and better than the last one, but if you're a fan of either Selene or Blink, you'll be disappointed. Already reading Cable? Might as well pick this one up. But if you haven't started? Probably best to skip it. Read Full Review
Our narrative focuses on Gideon; the heroes spend the whole issue overcoming the goons/psychics/self-destructing-base trap he left for them. Gideon confronts Selene in a murdery fight scene that *really* embraces the Highlander rip-off-itude of the Externals; it's mighty disappointing that Ed Brisson didn't expend any scripting effort in crowbarring them away from their obvious inspiration. Jon Malin's art clocks in at his very best, which means generally unlovely but mostly-functional storytelling. At this point, the speed and forgettability of this arc and this issue are turning into positives. This story doesn't do much entertaining, but at least you can put it behind you quickly.
