This was an interesting issue.
Madrox gets what feels like a whole new bio where he has a genius mind and was found as at a young age by xavier and helped the likes of Xavier and Reed reach the heights of scientific success with his duplication powers and genus. He runs his entire lab himself from the production line to the idea line and has an entire work flow. I mean i don't know where he found time to be a detective or for x-factor but ok. He and laya are still together and they basically come off as the quintessential suburban couple where hubby works too much and can't make it home to see baby take his first steps. In a very what feels like a i don't think i can use the word here, but when you send a man to live important moments with your wife type of moment sends a dupe to go ahead, well the dupe volunteers to go home, evidently by the end of the story that dupe did so jamie never got the memories to which he says "i hate losing data."
I like this jamie, i really think he is interesting but this is a brand new character.
Monet, Angel and co are at the technology talks and here monet shows a bit of empathy for one of the employees showing that when angel or someone else gets to be the heavy monet can be the sincere one. Monet, Sophia, Trinanry go to a woman's group and all the way Monet is basically talking about the state of the male dominated business and makes some amazing points on the structure and how women are often not given the same power. Then monet has a conversation with Ms. St John, the woman who took the meeting with fenris. And in one of the most modern moments of hypocrisy i have seen in comics monet says that mutants do business clean and has a problem with St.John having talked to fenris who she said she only did because they said they had the same access to mutant tech that any mutant did. Which makes complete sense.
Here is where things go left for me. Monet completely and utterly violates St.John by forcibly trying to extract information from her mind which deservedly got her turned into penance against her will as St. John had on psy tech. Sophia and co get worried at a psychic back lash and go looking for monet. She is basically in the bathroom in her penance form threatening Ms. St John and is told about a drug they have been working on because "not all mutants are proud to be mutants" and though right now it's experimental and can cause paralysis she injects monet which it. Which personally i think monet deserved. When the eventually reach her area monet has flown off.
Other things
Bishop, neal (thunderbird), Sunspot, and vulcan are a conduit producing enough ionosphere energy to destroy a planet. The intent is to power Madrox project launch but due to monet's "grab her by the brain moment" St. John retaliated and the launch failed on live tv.
Monet came off as a straight predator in this for me and if word gets out on how she conducts business, she is a liability.
Oh forgot i would give it a solid 7/10.
