Dangerous

Yay! Professor X = Not dead. He was in hiding for some reason and not everybody knew. Those that did know were keeping it secret, hence the death implications. Also another team member showed up, Colossus. Now we just need Rogue to turn up and things will be almost normal. Although I suppose that for the classic line up you need Storm and Jean Grey as well. As far as I can tell, unlike Xavier, Jean Grey is dead at the moment. I do wonder though how many times in the last forty years Jean Grey/Phoenix/Dark Phoenix has died and been resurrected. If I remember correctly it first happened in the eighties so there has been plenty of time. Including comics, films & cartoons it's been at least three but I get the impression that it's happened in the comics more than once.

In these issues the cure plot seems to have disappeared for the time being. Here the AI controlling Danger Room has achieved sentience and decided to go on a murderous rampage as that is all it knows. It's a good job there are mutants with healing powers at the school otherwise everyone (not including Wolverine of course) would be dead.

One thing that the comics can do which the films can't is be much more overt with the crossovers. In one part of this story there's a totally unexpected visit from the Fantastic 4 and then later there are mentions of both Spiderman and the Avengers. It's sometimes easy to forget that they all exist in the same world.
