So apparently some kind of alien being called a Korvus(The last remaining of it's species)...can weild a blade called the Sword of the Phoenix...I'm assuming it kills Phoenixes permanently...otherwise why would it be so special...
Highlights of the issue...
Polaris(%^& indirectly insults Emma
Annihilation is mentioned.
Skrulls are wondering near Earth
55% of the Shiar Warp gates were destroyed which suggests that Vulcan travelled halfway across the galaxy by his own energies until he became smart enough to use steal a ship and use a warp gate...
Professor X is a Jerk
Darwin shows off
Polaris is scary...
Oh and a Korvas is set loose to take on the X-team...
The issue occurs before the Imperial Guard face Vulcan....
Not much happens...it's not as bad as the First Fallen arc..it's average...I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it...though....
You have a fight between the X-Men and the Skrulls...Polaris takes them out by scrambling their brains...oh and Professor X is becoming less of a pacifist...
No Gladiator or Vulcan....or Imperial Guard...
As for Warsong, it was slightly better but nothing that great...I've never felt so bad for the Cuckoos though...
