The blue X-team goes after Mr. Sinister and learns that he clones his Marauders when they fight Riptide–who was supposed to be dead.
They learn this from Thenody, who tells them that she is working from within to stop Sinister. So, she’s an ally.
In #35, Phoenix and Cyclops return from the future (see the miniseries here), and find that only minutes went by in the 616 timeline.
These issues aren’t bad, but not a lot happens in them. They feel like filler, waiting for other X-comics to be ready for the Phalanx Event, which comes next.
