Spoilers: Angel tells Cyclops that Kitty's bullet turned around and is heading back to Earth. Scott realizes this is Magneto's doing and returns to Utopia, while Emma stays with Erik. Dr. Nemesis warns Cyclops that by the time the bullet is close enough to scan it, it will be too late to stop it. Scott orders the X-Club to come up with something in order to hide the bullet from every sensor and living being so as to avoid global panic. That's what they do through a combined effort between Danger, The Cuckoos and the X-Club. Reed Richards contacts the X-Men and tells them they can't fool his satellites, but he will do what he can to help them. Cyclops also requests Dr. Cecilia Reyes to provide medical care for Magneto, and orders Fatomex, Wolverine, Colossus and Psylocke to return as fast as they can. Time goes by. Mutantkind gathers near Magneto. The bullet already can be seen from the naked eye. Erik uses his power to the maximum, and finally takes Kitty out of the bullet. Magneto passes out. Kitty stands up, only to find herself unable to speak and trapped in her phased form, much to Colossus' despair. Kitty is brought to the X-Men's lab. She is to stay inside a tube for the time being, while Magneto is still unconscious. The days go by, and life goes on as usual in Utopia, while Cyclops remains near the lab day after day.Fun trivia: Fantomex is seen giving Psylocke some flowers. ^^

Good to know that she will stay locked inside a tube for some time. Her return is good news since that will make her fans happy (like Betsy's return made me happy, despite of the bad arc that Sisterhood was), but Kitty Pryde annoys me. A lot.
But... Cecilia Reyes is in the story? Are you sure it isn't Kavita Rao? I didn't know Cecilia was in Utopia - and considering that the X-Men always assumed that she either ran away or died, her appearance should involve some comments about her presence in the island, right?
That's good news, though. I love Cecilia! I love Marrow too, actually (Maggott was always a loser, though, and he should never come back).
Oh, and Dr. Reyes aside, I must ask: how much does Psylocke appear in this issue? Is she in more pages besides that uncolored one that was shown some weeks ago at CBR? Will you please post some scans here later?
Thanks!
@FSaker Cecelia survived her internment at Neverland though how she escaped was never revealed. She turned up in NYX working out of her apartment on the downlow. I'm not sure if she still has her powers.
Maggot on the other hand wasn't quite so lucky (which probably makes you happy). Before he was killed he gave Eany and Meany (i.e. his digestive system, the maggots) to some kids he'd rescued. If I remember correctly, he gave himself up to save them. One of the maggots was later seen in the possession of Sinister.
He was resurrected by Selene during the events of Necrosha but it remains to be seen if he'll be sticking around like Mr. Ramsey.
Hmmm... Fantomex has an External Nervous System. Maggot had an External Digestive System. I wonder when Marvel will create mutants w/ other external bio-systems. "Lung"? LOL.
Also, I thought it was really cool to hear that Kitty will be spending time in the lab stuck in the a tube. It's a total throw back to what she went through in the... early 80s? It's what later lead to the evolution that phasing was her natural state and that solidifying required effort. If she's been phased all these months, it'd make sense that she'd be possibly out of practice in becoming solid. Also, if she's not spoken for months her vocal chords would be sluggish from lack of use as well. Personally, I'd have been singing my @$$ off to keep form being bored but I guess that'd eventually get old... LOL.
@SoulTapestry - Thanks, but I already knew that Cecilia was alive. The thing is, she never went back to the X-Men, so they would most likely think that she either died or ran away with no intention of coming back. I wonder if she was brought to Utopia now or if she's joined the mutant population earlier (and in that case, why no one mentioned her return in the island).
Mr. PsyGuy from X-Books told me that Fantomex gives flowers to Betsy in this issue... wow, I really need to see this! The idea of Fantomex flirting with Betsy is very cool, although I hope they don't start dating or anything like that. They're cooler when they're single.
On the "fun trivia" part of the synopsis (Fantomex giving Psylocke flowers), what was the context or was there one? I ask because I hope that Psylocke doesn't go back to Archangel anytime soon (if ever).
I just hope they would stop portraying Psylocke as a flirt or a woman with no intentions of having a serious relationship or unabloe to: The guys from Captain Britain era, the flirt with litle old Ramsey, the Cyclops incident, the sexual tension between her and Sabretooth , Remy and Iceman being atracted to her, her failed relationshiop with Angel, her ¨relationship¨ with Matsuo, her fling with AOA Sabretooth, her thing with Beast (remember he had a crush on her back when she was a british top model), and now who´s in line of all people? a guy with an external nervous system... oh well , personally I would like to see her in a serious - long term- stable relationship with someone , I´m tired of writters using her as an eye candy kind of character.
I ment *¨unable to¨ sorry lol
Oh and lets not forget the only one better yet : the chosen one by her heart (Thundrebird II)couldn´t even wait 6 months after her death and he was already in love with that shapeshifter - shi´ar Lifesaver girl. .. Asshole!
Alejo I must respectfully disagree. I mean, I don't want to see her in a relationship. People in relationships most often get BORING. (Storm who? Yawn, I hate her now.)
I will get so bored of married/relationship Psylocke.
I didn't read the Psylocke Sabretooth thing but the thought of her being sleady is sickening.
I like her untouchable and guys fawning over her. She can toy with that and then toss them.
I also disagree Alejo. Psylocke has always been a flirt. Why would that change now? I think it's one of the most fun aspects about her.
@Anonymous, Dr.Doom - Well actually you have a point there I mean I prefer her to be the one making the heart braking LOL like she did w/warren poor guy lol instead of she being the one dumped :)
Agreed Betsy is far better single, relationship characters become freakin boring.
Has anyone found scans from this issue yet?
Psylocke should help Kitty telepathically like last time when she first joined the x-men.
I didn't think Betsy was boring at all when she was with Archangel, but anyway....
I can't get over how some of my favorite characters look like they could have been drawn by my 5 year old cousin in this issue. Even the Dodson team would have been better this--this is horrible! We go for a few issue without seeing Dazzler and Northstar and when they do get a panel it looks like a freakin etch-a-sketch! Ugh....mass popularity or not, Land at least makes them look like people....I don't think how he does that helps the actual story any, but I hate the art for this issue. Nation X should have ended with a Nation X artist.
Why does Northstar have to be constantly placed in the same scenes as a sparkle disco diva or a pink haired fairy? Maybe im reading too much into it but ive seen it a few times now and quite frankly i dont like it. I remember when he was on the same team as juggernaut and that little kid didnt want him to carry him because he was gay and he explained he liked real men with hairy chests, I found that to be a much more positive representation.
To be honest i dont like Northstar anyways hes like a token gay character with nothing particualry interesting about him, im always suprised the amount of Betsy fans that mention they like him.
Iceman should just come out already :P
