This issue of X-Force is not for you to read if you are not a regular of the team or if you have not started on this particular storyline called Necrosha because it doesn't waste a panel in any flashback for the casual reader. We know this because we have neglected X-Force and the Marvel world for a bit but the Necrosha storyline is generally very entertaining. So it is worthwhile for you to track down past issues and get in on the ride
Here we see Wolfsbane already down but for a reason not from this storyline. Her then-boyfriend from Asgard, a wolfen prince brought her back to the X-world hoping to find a cure i.e. another mutant healer except that he is down for the count as well
While amidst all these, the dead mutants are rising en masse and preparing to assault the X-people's current home of Utopia under the leadership of Selene, Hellfire Black Queen and demi-goddess wannabe as well as a plethora of new and very deadly recruits
On other front, we see the Vanisher in supposedly one of his panic moods and also come to the X-world looking for the healer because the healer was supposed to have implanted a tumor within him to get him to calm down from his villainous urges and provide them with his service until such time Wolverine deems appropriate to cure him
So two significant things happen: one is the wolf prince begged Hela, Asgardian goddess of Death to come and do a deal ... and she says she cannot heal all or rather bring any back to life without a corresponding trade. However, as he found out that Rahne is with child and he has only 1 life i.e. his to offer, he decided to risk it all and ask her to bring back the healer
Secondly, we see the musclebound Warpath and some of the X members battling it out against the invading hordes only to be captured because they wanted a knife in his possession. What does this entail? Only future issues will tell us!
