WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THIS ISSUE:
CLAREMONT IS NOW JUST RADOMLY STRINGING TOGETHER DRAMATICLY SOUNDING WORDS TOGETHER IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER TO FORM ISSUE TITLES
CYCLOPS IS CLEARLY UNAWARE OF THE THEORY OF MORAL UTILITARIANISM
MOIRA MACTAGGERT IS A FINE LOOKING PIECE OF ASS FOR PUSHING 40
IN SCOTLAND, ITS NO BIG DEAL IF A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT WHO IS A ‘SURE BET’ TO BECOME THE NEXT PRIME MINSTER DIES
SCOTLAND FUCKING BLOWS
A mercifully brief recap: Right before Proteus can finish off Storm, Moira MacTaggert, Proteus’ mom, tries to assassinate him with a sniper rifle. She misses (because pussy whipped Cyclops doesn’t believe in taking a life, even a deranged psychopathic serial killer with near limitless power and a unquenchable thirst for murder, spoils her aim) and so Proteus runs away to Edinburgh, where he finds his dad, Moira’s still legal husband, Joe MacTaggert, and kills him. But Joe was a raging mega douche so no big deal there. The entire X-crew, reunited and fighting together at last (san Professor Xavier, because he’s luxuriating in space, because he is an annoying character to have in battles so they wrote him out of the book for this arc), find Proteus and get ready for the final battle, which will happen next issue. Man they are really milking this Mutant X storyline for all it’s worth.
No Jason Wyngarde/Mastermind Phoenix Phucking this issue. And Moira’s husband makes one of the briefest appearances by any X-Men supporting characters. Anyway, next issue, the end of Proteus, I swear.
