Spoilers: At Department X’s office, Jubilee and Iceman are entrusted with baking thank-you cookies for the X-Men. Bobby gives Jubilee a hard time by joking around non-stop and making a mess out of the kitchen. Blob interrupts their shenanigans and informs the team a couple, Luke and Nezumi, has engaged in intimacy and broken the rules for the third time. Department X – Iceman, Psylocke, Northstar, Blob, Jubilee and Moneta – suit up for the mission. While Moneta particularly harbors special disgust for the “retrogrades”, the team treats it as a usual mission. At the couple’s hideout, Psylocke strikes her psychic sword against Nezumi. The woman says she won’t be taken this time, which surprises Betsy as she remembers the other times she was captured. Meanwhile, Iceman keeps casually joking around while pursuing Luke, who screams that he’ll find Nezumi again because he loves her. Bobby imprisons Luke in an ice coffin. Moneta uses her psychic fingers on Luke and confirms there has been intimacy violations. Jubilee is a bit uncomfortable with Bobby taking the whole thing so lightly and treating Luke as a thing rather than a person. Nezumi begs to Department X to let her go as she’s pregnant, crying her eyes out. Iceman simply freezes her as well. Department X is taken aback and Northstar informs that it’s possible to procreate the old-fashioned way even though mutantkind has evolved past that. Betsy uses her telepathy and confirms the woman is saying the truth; she’s pregnant. The team decides to take Nezumi back to their offices and deal with the first pregnancy in years their own way.
“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.

Poor. Don’t know if I’ll pick up the next issue.
The issue wasnt terrible but it was very boring and the humor fell so flat IMO and the art isnt helping flesh out any tone the writer is going for. Im liking the GenX book better so far.
I think there was too much comedy. Art is terrible as we saw in old previews. The story isn't as bad as what I thought. Kinda love Generation X part more among all of these so far.
i have been very disappointed with this book ....they keep using the same joke over & over....and wow is Iceman annoying in it
