• In the depths of space, the X-Men have encountered the threat terrorizing S.W.O.R.D.: monstrosities called the "Genespliced"-creatures engineered from the fiercest alien races across the galaxy.
• But how can the X-Men hope to stop an alien horde?
• And does S.W.O.R.D.'s own leader, Abigail Brand, know more about the Genespliced than she's letting on?

Despite the alternation between Tolibao's and Soy's very different art styles, we get a visually detailed issue with consistently wonderful colors. While not as gripping as issues #18 and #19, we are introduced to a new character, Sharada Darthri, who is penciled to perfection by Dexter Soy. I wonder how Guggenheim will wrap up this arc, as he has done a good job of not clueing us in to his endgame. I hope Rachel Grey gets to deal with the Shi'ar in a satisfactory way for the atrocities they wreaked on her family. Read Full Review
