Story Title:
(First story) - The Extremists, part five
(Second story) - Endangered Species chapter fourteen
By: Ed Brubaker & Christopher Yost
Artists: Salvador Larroca & Andrea Divito
Synopsis: (first story)
After being buried in a cave-in under an old cathedral, Storm is now the captive of Masque and his followers, inside a coffin. Caliban, Skids and two X-Men are also shackled, and Masque revels in telling them that the book’s prophecy is coming to pass. Masque informs them that he is planning another attack; one which will make the subway attack look like nothing. He adds that, once this has happened, Magneto will get the book and see that his old way is the right way. He gloats that explosives are set to go off in the old cathedral above them. Once their X-corpses are found at the scene, there’ll be no turning back and humans will hate mutants more than ever. However, Storm isn’t about to allow that to happen. She causes a lightning strike above ground, and electricity makes its way through the pipes that lead to where Warpath and Hepzibah are shackled. The shock hurts them, but it also frees them. They immediately go on the offensive, and Ororo joins them after exploding free from her coffin. Warpath takes out Litterbug and Bliss, whilst a collapsing ceiling puts Erg down for the count. Warpath then frees Leech from his power-dampening shackle and Caliban is then unafraid to beat the tar out of Masque. With the Morlock’s plan foiled, Skids takes the book whilst the others make their way home. Later, Hepzibah and Cyclops speak about Corsair, and about how she doesn’t mean any disrespect by choosing James as her mate. Meanwhile, Skids makes her way to a cemetery where she hands the book over to Magneto. She informs him the book appears to claim that he is still a mutant.
(second story)
Hank McCoy is frustrated at his lack of success when Spiral suddenly appears and informs him that science has blinded him. He should be looking towards magic to solve his problem. So, Hank visits the sanctum of Doctor Strange, who takes Hank onto a plane where magic exists as physical objects. He explains that Wanda’s spell is woven into the very fabric of reality and it’s difficult to see where reality ends and her alterations begin. When Hank asks if he can reverse her spell, Strange replies that he might be able to but, were he to try, all of reality could implode as a result.
