Everyone is safely “home” on asteroid M after their battle with Legion in the previous four issues. The story begins with the resurrected Warlock aiding a plane that is about to crash. It rapidly cuts to the main point of the issue, Daniel Moonstar not being put on the team. The issue guest star’s Rogue, who’s powers has recently matured to a point where she can finally touch people without knocking them out. She aids the New Mutants in picking up the pieces of Legion’s mind. Her appearance in this issue may or may not be a foreshadow to her part of Necrosha which will hit comic book stands starting in mid October. The story also has a side plot between Shan and Illyana hiding the fact that Shan brutally murdered one of Legion’s personalities. The book ends with Warlock looking over the dug up grave of Douglas Ramsey, yet another prelude to Necrosha
The art in this issue is strange, childish and it looks like a ten year old got a new chalk set for Christmas. The characters are stick thin and stuck in unnatural possess. The story is hard to follow and the dialogue is forced. The panels don’t flow together well and the story flows weird. But the story does bring back Warlock and there is no way I can give any book with Rogue in it less than 2. So 2 out of 5 it is.
