The X-Men send a smaller team to the future to stop the sentinels from traveling to the present and destroying all mutants, but the ground zero of the sentinels may prove too strong to destroy. The issue is interesting with all the guest stars, but for me the highlight was the art by Dodson. If it wasn’t for him, this issue would not have been so interesting. The X-Men are tired and are not innovating anymore. I like the special operation team, although I found Angel, the old X-Men veteran and founding member weak in character and not a good example for the other newer guys. There is a sense that the X-Men have reached their limit but it feels more like the writer is telling us rather than showing us the threat.
