I have been reading so many X-titles for the last year or so, that I sometimes forget which storyline is happening when, and involving whom.  While this isn’t the best X-title ever written, it’s been focused enough that I always know where I am from page one to the final panel.  This issue was no exception.  None of the plot twists are terribly surprising, but they’re satisfying as pretzels.  You know the direction they’re most likely to go, but they’re still delicious.  And salty.
