Rachel Summers comes face-to-face with her Phoenix persona when the Loonies put the mutant in a scenario straight out of the future! Her future! Days of Future Past, that is! Mutants are hunted indiscriminately. Kitty Pryde is now in her mid-40s. Going by Katherine Pryde and accusing this future Phoenix of her murder, can Rachel survive in a future that is not her own?
The one-shot story has Hellcat Patsy Walker taking on a drug ring after failing to save an undercover cop dressed as a bag woman from murder. Good action. A little convoluted plot involving making the homeless become drug manufacturers under duress.
The remaining half of this issue is devoted to Black Panther. That's right! This issue of MCP only has 3 story segments! They doubled up the pages meaning they actually doubled the action for once. Will 16 pages finally be enough to get us through 24-parts to finally see T'Challa in a mother and child reunion? God, I hope so. This story has dragged on forever!
Not a bad issue of the anthology. Having 16 pages of the Black Panther story instead of the usual 8 just through off the pace of this very formulaic series.
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
