X-Men: Kingbreaker #1-4 (2009): 1st Zzzxx

This is not an X-Men story.  It’s a Starjammers story.  And it’s boring.  And it’s not really a story, it’s a prelude to War of Kings.

Taking place right after Vulcan took over the Shi’ar Empire, it begins with Lorna and Havok still held captive.

The story has those two X-Men and the Starjammers, along wit Rachel Summers, trying to stop Vulcan from taking over more of the galaxy.  When they fail, they join up with the Kree to re-engage.

It introduces a new symbiote named Zzzxx, who serves Vulcan.

Meanwhile, Ronan goes to tattle about it all to Black Bolt–and kneels before him, as he would kneed before a king.

That’s where it ends, and where War of Kings begins.
