“Quarantine,” Part 5 (of 5)
The X-Men have an infectious, killer disease. What could possibly mean enough to make them break quarantine and risk exposing the world? And when that plague cuts them off from their powers, what would be the use of doing so anyway? Cyclops has his answers. You can make up your own mind. Meanwhile, Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw finish their physical debate… and the final words will change their relationship forever.
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

Okay, so Uncanny X-Force #5.1 is supposed to be a starting point for reading, yet its story has nothing to do with what the current series is showing? Well, at least it brings Lady Deathstrike (I wonder if she's still Spiral's servant), I love her! Probably we won't see Betsy fighting her, though... but maybe they could team up to celebrate the old Sisterhood days?
About Age of X, I think the solicitations are wrong... aren't March's issues for Legacy and New Mutants supposed to be parts 4 and 5, respectively? Since Age of X Alpha is supposed to be part 1, in January, and the Legacy and New Mutants issues for February, parts 2 and 3...
Hmmm, Fsaker. Maybe Remender will allow Deathstrike to explain all the mystery behind how the Sisterhood kidnapped Betsy. You know all the stuff that Fraction glossed over in his hideous little Sisterhood arc... with the demon spirit Psylocke. One of the worst pieces I've seen in Marvel to this day... and I've been reading for over 20 years.
I guess the word kill will always pop up in X-Force.
BTW, I usually love Bianchi's covers, but this one is weird...
Psylocke looks quite tranny-ish in it. And did Deadpool stuck a tennis ball inside his pants? Not cool.
But I'm sure the issue will be great, nevertheless!
@Rahsaan: I agree completely! It was an AWFUL arc. Red Queen (Or whoever...) goes through all this trouble when she could have just gone to the cemetery... at the school... which is where anyone with common sense would assume Jean's grave was... in plain sight.... UGH.
SO much wrong with that story.
& anything Crap Fraction writes is instant fail. I haven't bought Uncanny in so very very long.
I am hoping good things for X force!
