Warlock hasn’t been doing much in the X-Men book so far, but in this story daddy comes home. Magus, Warlock’s father, has been hunting him in cut scenes ever since Warlock’s first appearance.
It’s a great extended fight scene.

Not sure why she uses the kiss touch. But I guess every other part of her body is covered.
At the issue’s end, Professor X gets attacked by a mutant hating mob and can’t defend himself.

He’s dragged off by an unseen figure.
