Description: Paige and
Angelo prepare for Ms. Frost's formal orientation
party for Mondo. When they arrive at Proudstar
Hall, where the party is being held, everyone but
Banshee is already there. M decides to check on
Sean and make sure if he's ok. Ev advises her to
ask Jubilee to go along with her. Penance has
relapsed into a coma and Jubilee is very worried
about her. M promises Jubilee that she'll check
on Penance, tries to reassure her and heads
towards Sean's private cottage. There she find
the front door open, wary she contacts the White
Queen psionically. Inside she finds Banshee,
apparently dead and she rushes him to the med
center. The team arrive at the center, Emma says
that Sean isn't dead yet and uses her telepathy
to keep him alive while the GenXer's find whoever
did this to him. Jubilee volunteers herself and
Mondo to stay behind and watch over Banshee and
Emma. In England, on the
estate of Lady Gayle Edgarton, we find her
talking with D.O.A, Emplate's henchman, and
Emplate appears next to her. She discusses her
planned revenge against Jonothan Starsmore with
him.
Meanwhile
Emma, inside Sean's mind, finds that he is
reliving a certain period of his life during
which he was an Interpol agent. He has found a
body, apparently one in a serial of murders.
Police officers barge in, about to arrest him but
Sean manages to escape.
Back
in the present, Chamber, Husk, Skin and Synch are
on the trail of Banshee's assailant. Synch is
using his powers to track the person. Police cars
begin to follow them as they approach an
incomplete bridge. Chamber tells Skin to keep
driving. He does and M catches the car and
carries them safely to the other side of the
river. They continue to close in on Banshee's
attacker.
Back
in Sean's mind, Emma watches him sleep in a train.
Suddenly the compartment door slides open and a
man uses his magnetic powers to levitate Sean off
the floor. It is Erik Lehnsherr, aka Magneto, but
this is before he assumed the identity of Magneto.
It appears that he was helping Banshee track down
the serial killer and he advises Sean to go to
his home, Cassidy Keep, in Ireland. Then he
disappears.
Back
at the Academy Jubilee watches over Penance, and
worries about her friend, feeling helpless.
The
rest of the GenXer's enter a wood on foot in
search of Banshee's assailant. Jono appears to be
taking charge of the team. Suddenly they are
attacked by Omega Red, a powerful mutant.
Comments:
This issue was pretty average. Tom Grummett's art
is very good sometimes, but he does have a
tendency to give his characters very high
foreheads. The story isn't anything brilliant. I
would have preferred a quiet issue with no action
after the last few issues. The dialogue at some
times is a little corny, especially Jonothan's. (Note:
This took place after the Generation X '95 annual.
Unfortunately I don't have any of the annuals, so
I can't fill you in on what happened.)
