This issue has quite the shocking beginning! It also does a good job wrangling the dozen-plus characters involved, giving us a little time to get to know who they are and what they're about.

I do hope the Marauders comics starts being about the Marauders again soon; the X of Swords event has really taken over these last few issues to the point where the only plausible connection is "Storm is there, I guess?" ( )
