Just going to do a quick review today.
Issue starts off with Peacock Man (PM) and Mikhail meeting in a frozen wasteland. Mikhail has contracted Xeno to provide him with soldiers, and he did not get the number he was promised, however Peacock man thinks that the abilities of the Russian Nesting doll agents (the ones that previously attacked Krakoa) will more than make up in the lack of numbers. To prove their effectiveness the soldiers are pitted up against and ice bear, which Mikhail says is the only real predator of man and mutant. The soldiers make quick work of the bear and show the ability to "pop out" a new person if the original dies. Next up we see the scene from the previews with Beast cutting open the left over nesting doll and the little guys ends up in his ear, this obviously freaks Beast out so he asks Black Tom to help him by deploying "Wee Tom" to locate the missing bad guy. Unfortunately we don't get to see this battle take place. We go back to Mikhail and PM and learn that the Pale Girl works for him and that he is the one that wanted to steal the Shiar logic diamonds. We also see a character called Siber who I don't believe we've met before, looks like an android of some sort. Mikhail is annoyed with PM so he puts him in a pocket dimension to think about his failure. We end with a scene meeting the "Chronicler" who seems to be a mutant, maybe with the power to shape the future as he writes it down, its some what unclear.
I've really enjoyed Percy so far, and I think he said this issue and the next are two of the most important ones he's written for his run but I'm not sure why to be honest. We did learn that Pale Girl and Mikhail are working together along which was new, and we met two new people in Siber and Chronicler but other than that it didn't feel like much happened this issue. Maybe it will become more clear next issue but honestly this one felt like it didn't live up to the hype.
