VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by MIKE CAREY
Pencils & Cover by HUMBERTO RAMOS
As the Xavier Academy reels from Exodus's attack and the Marauders' true goals emerge, the X-Men finally find themselves in a position to take the offensive. But only if Iceman and Cannonball deliberately walk into an ambush from which they may not emerge alive.
FEATURING ENDANGERED SPECIES Chapter 13
Beast’s alliance with Dark Beast is put to the test as scientific inquiry turns into cold-blooded murder!
"An above-average issue, as the Marauders arc concludes in a surprisingly depressing way. Ramos’ art still doesn’t do it for me and this whole story feels a little too much like a Messiah Complex prologue, but it’s hard to dislike an X-Men story that only runs for four parts. Bring back Bachalo, though, will ya?"
