"Rage Against The Machine!"
by David (Rhyme)

I have been waiting for this storyline for a very, very long time. Not because it introduces the M-Tech line of books. I could care less about that. I probably won't even pick up those books. It's because something about the storyline feels right. I don't know if it's how we get a great like Rick Leonardi penciling one issue, or how it features a villian who's not usually X-material. It just feels right.

I already have the first issue of the storyline (UXM #371), and to me...it looks great. I mean...there's a fantastic cover...the best cover to an X-Book since X-M #88. We've got Jimmy Cheung penciling an issue (before I saw this issue, I hated his work, but not I love it). And we've got an all-around great storyline.

For those of you who haven't heard, this storyline features Shadowcat, Colossus, Nightcrawler, X-51, Deathlok, and Douglock in two great places...Muir Island and the SHIELD Helicarrier. The Red Skull uses Douglock and the techno-organic virus to control the SHIELD helicarrier, and things go off from there.

Ever since I heard about this storyline, I've been excited about it. It sounds very good, and from what I've seen...it is very good. Check it out.
