Professor X is dead.
A funeral.
But there’s no time for sadness because it’s time for Magneto to step into the breach.
He hijacks a ship that happens to have the X-Men on it.
Now there’s a handy coincidence! Well, it wasn’t a total coincidence. The ship had a super computer on board that Cyke figured Magneto would want.
Magneto beats them fairly easily, and Angel escapes. But rather than save his teamembers, he spends almost all of issue #44 fighting a guy named Red Raven.
Then, at the end, Angel finally decides to go get help from The Avengers.
Next issue, #45, will be the first big AvX story.
Angel isn’t the only one thinking the Avengers might be a source of help…
As Scarlet Witch’s powers continue to fade, Quicksilver thinks maybe the A-team could help her. But his desire to help doesn’t last long before it collapses under the weight of his enormous narcissism.
There’s a back-up feature on the origin of Iceman, where he gets arrested for beating up some bad guys, and Cyclops rescues him from jail. Which, of course, is illegal.
