No John...bastards.
If Vulcan acts dumb like he did in this issue and attacks Tarn head on he's a dead man. Tarn can quite literally manipulate your genetic code and turn off your mutant powers with a thought.
If Vulcan was smart he would use his powers less as a hammer and more as a scalpel which considering Brand's dialogue with him she plans on training him to do just that.
People got used to her getting nerfed for a few years. Now the real Storm is back and it’s great to see.
Damn it would be so good to see Tarn kill Vulcan, have him resurrected as a clean slate and screw Brand’s plan and then have Magneto destroy Tarn and sit on the Great Ring with Storm.

It was okay.
It's strange to see Cable so passive. But it was already implied in SWORD that Nathan wasn't one to follow orders for too long, and most importantly he's certainly aware of Brand's machinations.
What's most interesting to me in this issue is not so much Storm's demonstration, but how Brand underestimated her charisma and her leadership skills and realized that she couldn't handle her like she wants
I'm glad Vulcan has a story arc, but I'm not a big fan of his characterization and how he's handled. The guy spends his time being humiliated. And who thought it was a good idea to send Xavier to dig into his head when we know their shared past? While her sister-in-law is a telepathic omega.
I want more of Manifold.
“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
What a great book. I enjoyed #1 but this was just on another level, with Ewing firing on all cylinders and picking up from where he left SWORD off and mixing it up with Arakko, Storm, Magneto and Vulcan. I love a densely plotted book and this is so full of mysteries, intrigue and great character moments, every page is a delight.
Can Sunspot please finally have an uniform that isn’t a basic X-uniform or a variation of it?
I thought him rocking the Morrison era New X-men uniform was actually pretty cool.
