X-Men Forever 2 #6

Sinister has made his move. Under the cover a severely bad storm in Alaska, he has had his agent; Ms. Hanover, kidnap Nate away while The Marauders lay waste into the Starjammers.

We cut to Genosha where Masque and Callisto are going to meet someone; The Ghost Panther. Who attempting to recruit the Morlocks in to an army he in an attempt to stop a war that is about to break out in Genosha.

Amidst the chaos of the struggle, Corsair is able to escape a deadly confrontation with Sabertooth and teleport to the X-Mansion only to be met by Sabertooth!

Not much to talk about in plot wise for this issues its one of the great X-Men issues where it is 90% action, and its great action. Sadly it makes for a really quick read but I did not mind.

I think since the beginning of the series alot of people wonder which Sabertooth joined the X-Men, as the one on the team is suffering from burnout and cannot regenerate. But the one who shows up in Alaska very clearly has his healing ability; Corsair shots him in the arm and it heals right away.

X-Men Sabertooth does manage to get a new hand, a nice little metallic one from the Starjammers, but nothing can be done about his eyes, maybe he should give Mojo a call and get some implants?

I was stoked to see The Ghost Panther. He alludes to Storm approaching and storm is in bold.. I think we might see Perfect Storm making an attempt to take over Genosha.

There was something that really threw me off while reading the whole comic, the word balloons. The seems to really stand out for some reason. like they were pasted onto the page and then scanned in. Just a minor quibble but it did really stand out to me.

An all out action issue was really needed and the fact that it wasn't bogged down with a lot of other little things made me happy and the Sabertooth vs Sabertooth promo cover looks cool and I am stoked for that fight.
