The psychic backlash as Rachel learns of her mother's death–she just heard her voice on the phone after all (good accidental retcon seed Claremont!)–knocks all the assembled X-Men to the floor, and it is no longer deniable that Rachel has returned to the "wrong" past.

...of Magneto's characterization. Since my first readthrough, I've come to learn that "Magneto Was Right"– how long is a marginalized community expected to suffer before they radicalize?

Worse, Kurt's fury directly condemns Xavier. What use is the dream they've all died for?

...only to be dismissed by Charles. Rachel stays behind, thoughts hidden, and overhears Kurt's sermon on Xavier's folly.

In a lot of ways, Kurt's despondence over "the dream" in the light of the governments crimes against mutants tracks... and speaks to the growing grey-ness...

During a standard Claremontian intermission, ship captain and Cyclops-grief-fling Aleytys "Lee" Forrester saves Magneto from a shark.

That's it. That's the tweet.

...or not she believes it.

Forge finds a beaten Naze dying on his Sanctum's floor, the entity's deception unrevealed. Ororo confronts him a final time: they may have been a team today, but she has forgotten just how much the man has stolen from her.

...Illyana arrives on scene, finally revealing herself before the team as the mutant-sorceress we've come to love and fear.

The strength of Claremont's pen on both books (and later, his collaboration with Weezie) means that his characters' arcs aren't interrupted across books...

The saddest part of Rogue's transformation is the reality that the monster's words could have just as easily been said by the reformed terrorist just two dozen issues ago, but the comparison between the her and the Wraiths is growing tired.

Thankfully, *drumroll please*...

...the creatures utter darkness. The enemy of your enemy isn't always your friend.

But magical problems require magical solutions, leaving Kurt's sister-girlfriend conscripted to the X-Men's mystic battle.

With all due fairness to Amanda, I'm *also* wondering how...

Upstairs, the Wraith-possessed Naze continues his incantation, summmoning some dark adversary from realms unknown, seeking its aid in exchange for dominion over Earth.

The being mocks him: "(why) offer that which I already possess?" It's a chilling line that speaks to...

At UXM #187's close, our mutants miscalculated their victory over the Dire Wraiths, culminating in their capture by the Shadowbeings summoned by the Wraith.

The contrast between Forge's mysticism & machinery is again drawn–his advanced prosthesis saving him from the Shadowbeing.
