This is such good news for us because of the announcement of a forthcoming motion picture aka movie! Hehehe! After all the X-Men and spin off finally they come to this and we are seriously hoping they do a better job than some of the X-Men movie. Why? Because it is with this series that we started off in the X-world waaaaaaaaay back in the 80s and we followed it from 17 off and on right up to its end in 100 (although we had stopped in the late 60s owing to closure of many comic book shops and newsstands but wherever we went, if there are comics we would be hunting these issues and happy to share that we have all from 1 to 100 inc Graphic Novel and Annuals and the awesome Special Edition!)
Anyway this issue truly marks the end of the first round of the Mutants. SPOILER ALERT
As the cover indicates, this issue is a crossover with the Beyonder from Secret Wars (original first and second series) where a being (at that time) who is the entire universe achieved consciousness and after the first Secret Wars decided to come to our universe and our planet and the USA to learn what it is about mortals and desires
In this issue of the mutants, a disappointed Beyonder who cleansed Illyana aka Magik of her dark soul persona and gave her the ability to bring about a "savior" kind of relationship comes to collect. His life is a mess and he is pissed off that she failed too. When he arrives, the Mutants themselves were in a bit of a disarray and still adjusting to Magneto being headmaster
So when there is no Magneto, the Beyonder comes. While some challenges him and tries to fight, others knew that no matter their effort, the outcome is certain for they were only mortals regardless of abilities while the Beyonder encompass an entire Universe (whatever that concept may mean in this context) like he is literally the space even of that Universe and when he comes to our world, his Universe ceases to exist (do not try to wrap your head around that)
It is very touching/ heart-rending to see the Mutants die one by one from Cannonball to finally Dani aka Mirage especially her as she got on her horse and rode away into the sunset knowing full well he will atomize her!
Violence? Yes! But more than that, a tale where every single person dies! Sigh!
