My Review

The issue starts out with Storm, Psylocke, and Magneto discussing strategies on how to invade Mister Sinister's new Krakoa. I'm guessing the original way the X-men destroyed the island, by tossing it off into space with the combine power of Storm and Polaris, wasn't going to be quite as effective this time. Danger receives intel from Unit; who is willing to aid them for his own personal reasons. I found this to be an interesting change of events, though it was quite obvious that Unit wouldn't want Sinister harnessing the ultimate power to his whim. They realized that their only chance of freeing the Phoenix Five was by destroying the Jean Grey clones that Sinister used to beat the Phoenix Five before.

Psylocke decides that she should go in stealthy with Danger attached to her as an armor suit. Storm and Magneto provided the distractions and had an interesting conversation once again. The dynamic between the two is so nice seeing. What's interesting is this time Gillen had Storm somewhat agree with Magneto in this issue about loving the destruction. I thought this was a nice change considering how preachy and righteous he always made Storm seem(which is not always the case for this character). I think he's been taking advice from some of the fans for that issue.

Storm and Magneto finally encounter one of Sinister's Jean Grey clones and Storm immediately(Asking her goddess for strength) unleashes a storm of lightning bolts on the Phoenix Force wielder. It phased her but it didn't drop her. I thought there was something that should have been shown and referenced with how Storm reacted to seeing a clone of one of her closest friends. She didn't seem to really care who she was, which should have never been the case with a character like Storm, considering their previous relationship.

In any case, the abomination of a clone announced that Storm was troublesome and attacked her. Storm merely closed her eyes and asked for her goddess to save her... Why didn't she even attempt to defend herself with a lightning shield or something? Moving on... Magneto announces that there was no need to ask her goddess when he would defend her just fine by encasing her in a scrap metal shield. Storm isn't seen again until later in the issue unconscious, but I'm assuming she was knocked out from the brunt of the blast against Magneto's metal shield.

Emma eventually gets the Phoenix Force to return to her by communicating with one of the clones and that basically saves the day. All of the Phoenix Five are freed and Sinister's island and clones are destroyed. Scott then announces that the world is theirs in a cryptic way. I thought the art was sort of cool in some areas but it seemed quite odd in other areas. Storm was just downright ugly in some panels. Lol

I thought the issue was interesting overall, but nothing too interesting to give it anymore than a 6/10.
