Comic Summary: Sabretooth is being hunted by the X-Men, after he left Psylocke critically wounded at the mansion. Caliban is the first to find him but, not being too smart, he is outwitted by Sabretooth and left unconscious in the tunnels. Cyclops and Iceman head to his safehouse and find travel schedules there. As they search the apartment, Creed returns and attacks the two X-Men. Iceman manages to force his retreat and Creed heads into the city. Bobby manages to catch up with him again but Creed uses a hostage to force Iceman to allow him to board a train into Grand Central Station. Unfortunately for Creed, Beast is also on the train and he manages to occupy him in battle until Cyclops and Jean Grey can catch up with them. Once again, though, he slips away and, this time, Archangel tries to stop him. Sabretooth manages to damage one of Warren’s wings, forcing them to crash land in a water tower. The tower explodes and the falling Archangel is frozen in ice by Bobby before he hits the ground. Sabretooth escapes yet again. Jean Grey determines that Creed is actually heading for Massachusetts in order to take out the kids of Generation X, the next generation of X-Men. Jean intercepts him before he boards the Boston train and, along with Cyclops and Beast, they manage to keep Sabretooth down until a chopper lands, carrying Val Cooper. Instead of allowing Creed a final chance of glory, Cyclops blasts him in the forehead. A police officer, thinking he is unconscious or dead, gets too close and Creed grabs his rifle. More police officers open fire on him and Creed goes down hard. He manages one final act of defiance, before he finally gives in to fate. Val Cooper orders his dead body taken away and thanks the X-Men for their good work. At least there was only one casualty, she tells Scott. Unfortunately, he replies, he was the one they were trying to save.

Comic Summary: Sheriff Strange goes through his weekly report of events in Battleworld to All-Father Doom. When Doom complains that Strange's record keeping is banality and of no interest to him, Strange counters that while Doom is omnipotent, he is not omniscient, and that he must be kept informed in order to protect himself from the threats to his throne. Strange concludes that Doom is in "a damn tricky mood" and Doom concludes the same of Strange. The two reminisce about creating Battleworld, and Doom tells Strange that he has his trust and full favor. Their stroll is interrupted by urgent news from Doomgard; the discovery of the Cabal's life raft.

Comic Summary: The following day, a funeral was held for Stephen Strange in Doomstadt, with the cause of his death kept a secret by Doom himself. Once the dusk had fallen, Doom tasked Valeria to use the resources of the Foundation to find the interlopers who had been scattered across the world, denying to provide any more information than that. Once Valeria left, Doom opened a portal below a Molecule Man statue in his garden, walking down a set of stairs to meet the Molecule Man and informed him of Strange's death. The Molecule Man made remembrance of the day when he, Doom and Strange confronted the Beyonders. During Doom's mission to thwart the Beyonders' plan by killing Molecule Men across the universe, he also captured countless of them. When he confronted the Beyonders, Doom unleashed the Molecule Men's power to kill them, while the Molecule Man acted as a conduit to steal their power and give it to Doom. The Molecule Man finished his chat with Doom by informing him that with Strange's death, he had most likely started an unraveling that could take everyone down.

Luckily, Rhodes steps up for Lex and has him freed. Three weeks later, Winston now works at the lab and Briggs has been made squad captain. He explains that there is some trouble in Ecuador. The insect-Sentinels Cassandra Nova created there not too long ago are apparently not all destroyed, but out of control and are busy murdering out an entire mutant village. The O*N*E* troops travel to Ecuador, where they eventually destroy all of the bugs. Meld declares that he wants to stay in Ecuador to protect the mutants who have lost their family and friends to the bugs. Lex thinks it’s a good idea for Meld to stay there, and convinces the others to lie back at the base and claim that Meld was killed in action, so they won’t come after him. After taking the proper goodbyes, the troops head back home. A month later, M-Day takes place. Just like most mutants on the planet, Lex is one of those who lose their powers. He feels good about it, and even gets promoted to become the new squad captain, and once again outranks Briggs. Realizing that the mutants are the minority now, O*N*E* decides to use their Sentinels to protect them. Lex and his friends are permanently assigned to safeguard the Xavier Institute, and soon meet up with the astonished X-Men!

Comic Summary: So Spider-Man and the X-Kids have defeated Stegron and Sauron and have been kidnapped by the Chameleon and are located in the MojoVerse (X-Men world universe) and are being placed in the T.V. show line-up for ratings. The MojoVerse is known for its brutality and violence as the audience demands it. This is not a very interesting X-Men universe and since the last issue is from Savage Island, it makes sense to switch it up. I am sure Elliott Kalan is playing up his Daily Show expertise in this issue by using the setting of a T.V. show. The comic begins with a quick upcoming list of programs that are about to start on the Mojo Video Network. First up, Late night with Spider-Man begins at 11:30 with Hellion and the X-Kids band! Spider-Man swings in with a three-piece suit and quickly is harmed as he makes an unwise crack joke at Mojo’s appearance. Eye-Boy is seen filming the T.V. show and is apparently working with Mojo. Could Eye-Boy be the mole that Spider-Man is looking for? Soon after, Spider-Man’s line-up of guest change as he is quickly greeted by the Sinister Sixty-Six!

Their arrival is detected by the surviving members of Nightshade who have taken refuge in an underground bunker during the attack from Alchemax's Corporate Raiders. Among them is Xina Kwan, who is concerned for her ex-boyfriend Miguel O'Hara and their former teacher, Nightshade's leader Angela Daskalakis. At that same moment, the Looters find Spider-Man and Angela, who seemingly survived the blast thanks to a web-cocoon. Packrat is delighted by this discovery because he is certain that this is the real Spider-Man and not one of his Spiderite followers. This is confirmed when Packrat cuts his finger on one of Spider-Man's finger talons. They determine that Angela is dead and leave her corpse behind and take Spider-Man with them.

Kitty explains she cannot phase them through Widget’s metal tentacles, as Widget appears to be an alter ego of hers. This gives Peter the idea to serenade Widget, as all Kittys loves his singing. Impossibly, his plan works and, when Gambit returns, Peter and Kitty are free and ambush him. With the Longshot blades, Gambit still has an advantage over them. That is, until a strangely eccentric Emperor Doom shows up and takes him out. “Doom” reveals himself to be Drax, who followed Peter from the club. He leaves Gambit for the Thors to find. Later, Peter and Drax want to see the anomaly. Kitty shows them what turns out to be a raccoon tail and Peter is certain it belongs to his friend, Rocket Raccoon. Kitty relents and lets him keep it before she leaves. Peter and Drax realize they are out of a job and Peter toys with the thought of having Rocket Raccoon cloned.
