Another great installment on this series. Stuart Immonen’s style is perfect for this story - it was a bit jarring when the last issue was by another artist, but actually it was also really suitable and fun! I particularly liked the page where Jean and Rachel meet. In general the dynamic between the “new” and “old” x-men only gets more interesting with each issue. Occasionally the plot events feel like excuses to bring particular sets of characters together (Havok showing up for example) but mostly it doesn’t feel too forced. I also wasn’t a fan of the fake Phoenix appearance as it felt like a bit of a cheat and an easy option to take with that character. But overall I’m really enjoying this story.
