| Summary: GenX,
accompanied by Sean, arrive at the airport ready
to use Emma's jet to find the House of Correction.
They are attacked, while the team cover Jubilee
who can't use her powers around the jet fuel, and
Paige exhibits superspeed capabilties when saving
Angelo from being shot. They take out their
attackers without killing them, Husk realises
that there was a locating chip on the Jonathan
Somers file they took from the school (last issue).
Back at the House of Correction, Warden Coffin is
informed of the failure of the retrieval team to
get back the Somers file. He orders the guards to
spread out, watching every back entrance and
window etc. He also orders for his 'special
children' to be primed. Back on the jet, Jubilee
forms a plan of action and Banshee decides that
she should lead the team in. They arrive at the
correctional facility. Monet knocks down the
front door, and GenX enter the House of
Correction. Comments: The art just
gets better with each issue, especially now that
the inker seems to have cut down on the splodges.
Also there's two new colourists for this issue
and they really suit the pencils. Pugh's Husk is
quite good and, as I've mentioned before, his
Jubilee is the best I've ever seen. Story wise,
it's nice to see M back to her cutting comments.
The way Jubilee outlined her battle plan was so
funny, and it's great to see her finally getting
the credit she deserves. However Husk gaining
superspeed just doesn't make much sense. In the
space of two issues two characters have gained
superspeed, and it just seems a little forced.
Monet has enough powers, too many powers in my
opinion. And what does Husk's power have to do
with superspeed? I'm sure someone would be able
to come up with some highly scientific
explanation of how that would work, but I still
don't like it.
