The return of the sentinels is not the big news here. Nor is the fact that Agent Valerie Cooper, X-Factor’s government handler, already knew about it. She only knew about it because she was possessed, and the spell is broken by the end of this issue, which also features a big battle against the Acolytes.
Have you ever heard of Random? What about Senyaka? No? Well here they are fighting.
There’s just too many characters in these X-books to care about any of them. But this is cool: Madrox takes one out by duping inside him…
They wanted the son of Magus, Quicksilver, to lead them, which X-Factor figures out during post-combat interrogation.
Quicksilver says no. And then shames Valerie Cooper for selling him out, even though she was under a thrall.
This book doesn’t suck, but it’s rapidly gone down in quality since Peter David left a few issues ago.
