So, the X-Men are locking up the Inhumans in Limbo... yeah, because it ended really well for them in AvX (not to mention that it is extremely cruel treatment). Don't they ever learn??

It seems Marvel will once again do everything they can to try to make the readers cheer against the X-Men (since the X-Men do have a solid justification to attack the Inhumans, as much as I'd prefer them to reach a peaceful solution). Since it didn't work with the Avengers in AvX (who are much more popular superheroes than the Inhumans, as much as I prefer the Inhumans over the Avengers), I'm positive that it will fail this time again.

As for our purple-haired lady, it's always cool to see Betsy fighting, but I really hope this time she will participate of the decisions, dialogues and all in the main miniseries. It was frustrating that in 12 issues of AvX, she was mostly in the background and only had one line (she was badass in the UXM and AvX:VS tie-ins, though).

It seems that that their entire game plan hinges on Magik. But yes, it is cruel to jail the Inhumans without any trial or attempt at a peaceful resolution, particularly in a hellish wasteland with no water or food. What annoys me most about this entire story is that the Xmen are being manipulated, in large part, by Emma, hellbent on her quest for vengeance. It also seems harsh that Alchemy was duly sacrificed by Scott and Emma, but he doesn't even get the credit in death he deserves. Apparently, it was Scott who stopped the other cloud.
