The battle continues, as the Wolverine Clone goes in for the kill on Kitty, still injured from being stabbed and Sabertooth still recovering from his clone attacking him. Luckily Gambit makes a sudden appearance, blasting Clone-verine with a charge from his staff knocking him out and then delivering a death blow of concentrated energy from his staff, guaranteeing death.
While defending the Lighthouse, Corsair, Cyclops and Havok see Hepzabah get blown out of the Summer's House, after going in to protect Grandma Summers. Havok goes to aid Hepzibah and find that 'Ro and Lockheed attacked her because she attacked Ro. Polaris shows up to let them know that Hepzibah has been taken over by the Marauder, Malice. Havok and Polaris manage to defeat her by removing the choker the contains Malice.
In a desperate attempt to end the fight without anymore causalities, Corsair breeches the surface with the Starjammer, and just obliterates the Marauders with its weaponry.
The end is relatively happy, as no one has died, but Kitty, Ro and Gambit stay behind in Alaska as, Sikorski, the Starjammer Medical Robot patches up Kitty and everyone heads back to New York after a distress call from Daisy Dugan.
After the tremendous last issue, #8 really fell short on the writing. I think CC was trying to put way too much into this issue and it really showed. Alot of scenes were too quick, with explanations not really explained that well. Too many people, mostly Gambit, were jumping from scene to scene when they wouldn't even be close enough to do anything, or even see what was happening.
Ron Lim delivered another good issue of art, really no complaints about his contributions to this issue. I just hope he comes back again soon.
All in all, this should have been a 3 issue arc instead of two. The flow of the issue was too jarring for me but I did enjoy it, just not as good as it could have been.
By the way.. the last page has been totally called by a lot of people and I wonder what ramifications its gonna have in the up coming issues.
I also left out a lot of plot points for up coming story lines. I can't spoil it all you know!
