Look at that cover! This is how Sentinels should be. Huge not gigantic and inspite of a robotic appearance, still exudes menace. And this is Nimrod coming to terminate all mutant life-forms!
Nimrod towers over the X-Men and the Hellfire Club proudly proclaiming his intent to all who would listen which is a blessing for the X-Men because if not for him, they would be in trouble. With this, it has shifted the focus of the Hellfire Club's attention and they tried to attack Nimrod only to discover that while they are powerful in their own rights, they have never tackled an opponent who comes prepared and has various skill sets
Selene finds her ability to control inanimate and non-organic constructs useless as she cannot affect his structure while Shaw tries charging at Nimrod only to be deflected with such force as to send him flying unconscious into the night skies
While all this is happening, a beaten Wolverine and Nightcrawler went about their business clearing the place of Hellfire goons who are planning to snipe at the X-teams ... and as for Rachel ... she who caused all this gathering in the first place?
Well she is still struggling to survive using her teke powers to hold her body together after Wolverine's stab ... only to stumble upon something magical that she had not noticed before in the park. Unbeknown to her, this is another aspect of the Bodyshop ... magical baddie Spiral from Mojoworld's little factory where she can remake a person in a totally different persona merging different technologies together including one's mind ...
And while that is interesting the real joy is in watching how the X-Men use their brains to find a way to bring down Nimrod one more time! Yes they did try some same old tactic as when they first encountered Magus and that gave us a bit of a shock (which we have to wait for future issues to find out what happened to Nightcrawler) but the whole battle with Colossus and Shaw and Kitty and Nimrod ... the panels are a joy to read!
Awesome!
