The X-Men are back from space! Well, half of them, anyway. The team is shattered, broken and separated. The group that has returned to earth is finding it much worse than how they left it– especially underground. Attacks in the Morlock Tunnels immediately grab the X-Men’s attention. What do these attacks have to do with the future of the mutant race? Maybe special guest-star Storm can get to the bottom of all this!

Judging by the character icons on the cover, I guess it’s safe to assume that Storm is officially rejoining the team (if only for this storyline). I wonder if this issue takes place after her tenure as a member of the Fantatsic Four and will her husband now be a supporting character in “Uncanny?” Looks like we’re getting some new blood with the additions of Caliban and Hepzibah to the team. I’m glad to see Caliban finally getting the chance to shine…he’s been a favorite of mine for a long time.
Artie was depowered on M-Day, as was revealed in “New Avengers” #18. Presumedly, he’s still in Monaco living with the St. Croix family, where both Leech and Penance (now Hollow) were also living. However, with both Leech and Hollow having both been captured by two separate factions since being sent to Monaco, Artie’s status is unknown.
