I keep trying to like this book, but I think my problem isn't really in the premise but the execution. This issue is paced very awkwardly, with the climatic action sequence with Rogue battling Cullen happening pretty much off panel. The transitions from panel to panel also seems very off at times. I like Tini's ideas but I just hope things can improve.

Anyway, this isn't much of a plot heavy issue. The team goes to dine with Cullen, as we have seen in the preview, and he suggests that the hunt for the warwolves has to be made without anyone using their powers. Betsy takes the deal initially, but later she and Rictor agree that it's a pretty much lose-or-lose situation since they could be hurt in the hunt or get caught while using their powers to save themselves. The reason why Rictor convinces Betsy to not follow Cullen's rules is because he, while playing in the dirt in the middle of the night (for real), overhears Cullen talking to someone from Coven Akkaba. They also kiss, because why not.
In the hunt, they manage to kill and decapitate the warwolves to get four skulls, with Rogue turning into a warwolf to fight them again. Cullen discovers they are using their powers and gets pissed off, powering up to kill (?) them. Rogue (as a warwolf) defeats him pretty easily, and the team gets the last skull from him, while also discovering a baby warwolf. They decide not to kill the baby (which is the last one of the warwolves) and Betsy takes him to Krakoa, much to Apoc's displeasure, who wanted a full on genocide.
The issue ends with a cute conversation between Betsy and Rachel, hinting at the latter's future role in X-Factor.
