The X-men are teamed up with Joseph N'Dingi to try and take the furies down while Emma attempts to calm Jasper and find a way to end the attack. Cyc and the gang are barely holding their own against The Fury but they manage to whittle them down to just one. One that Emma manages to perform some rather nice pyschic surgery on and sends him back through the Ghost Box to report that all is well and Jasper is injured and gone. She also put Jasper into a psychic coma. The X-Men plan on dealing with him later but N'Dingi has other ideas.
The story here is fun, Ellis' writing is excellent but you can't help but be struck by an intense feeling of deja vu if you are a fan of his earlier work. It's very similar in feel to the great Captain Britain story Jaspers Warpies. It's something that is easily overlooked though once you get into the story. The one thing that wasn't as easy for me to overlook is Kaare Andrews take on the X-Men. Yeah Storm looks badass back in her mohawk and Wolvie looks like he always does for the most part but the rest? Emma looks like an Asian munchkin whose psychic power resides in her mammary glands, Beast looks like one of those cats that have been dropped on their face from 12 story's and Cyclops is a cartoon version of James Marsden. As with all things in life there will be people who disagree with me and that's fine, this is just my opinion and my distaste for the artwork didn't hinder me from enjoying the book as a whole.
