Description:
Generation X go on a field trip to New York with
the exception of Jubilee, Banshee and Monet. (Jubilee
and Banshee have been called to the mansion over
the apparent death of Wolverine. Monet has been
taken out of the Massachusetts Academy.) The
group are in the museum and are looking at the
dinosaur exhibition. Leech and Artie , who are
using image inducers to pass as normal kids,
become bored and decide to sneak off. When the
others realise that the two are gone they split
up and begin to search for them. Meanwhile Artie
and Leech are having a great time using their
image inducers, pretending to be members of the
Backstreet Boys, helping Spider-man defeat the
Sandman, then impersonating Sue and Reed Richards
and they finally arrive at the Avengers Mansion
disguised as Thor and Captain America. Skin and
Synch have a run in with the New Warriors and
Husk and Chamber briefly discuss their friendship
, or lack thereof. Back at the Avengers Mansion
Artie and Leech have been discovered and Emma is
contacted. Firestar is not too pleased when she
discovers that Emma Frost is a teacher of the
young mutants. (Firestar was a member of the
Hellions, Frost's group of young mutants who died
in battle with the Sentinels. In those days Emma
was very cruel and manipulative.) When Emma
arrives to collect Artie and Leech, she and
Firestar have a little heart to heart ending with
Firestar accepting Emma's change of focus but
promising to track her down if she screws up her
new role. Generation X leave the Avengers Mansion
and head back to the Academy. Comments: An
average issue. It was good to see Emma
confronting some of the demons of her past, but
this entire issue had the feeling of a filler
issue and didn't really advance any storylines.
