I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Astonishing X-Men: Volume Two Dangerous by Joss Whedon (Writer), John Cassady (Artist), Laura Martin (Colorist), Chris Eliopoulos (Letterer)


Agent Brand of S.H.E.I.L.D.'s sister agency S.W.O.R.D. which deals with aliens blew it by making an agreement with Ord of Breakworld to cure the mutants with the help of Ord and Dr. Rao's formula. Ord's people could see a future where a mutant, an X-Man to be precise kills off their planet.  So instead of going to war with Ord which goes horribly wrong, they cure the mutants.  Wolverine keeps Ord from leaving the planet and destroys the cure in the process. But Hank still has a copy of it and Dr. Rao and others can make one based on her findings within months.  They did get Pete, Colossus, back, though.

One of the students, Wing, was touched by Ord and had his powers taken from him.  This has upset him greatly to the point of committing suicide.  One of the psychics says that if he leaves the other will come. Then all of the psychics pass out and the school is attacked by a long-dead Sentinel.  While the others go and fight the Sentinel, Kitty takes the kids to the Danger Room to safety where they find Wing's dead body.  And the real danger begins.

The Danger Room is now a sentient being. It likely started when the Professor made the Sh'ar technology upgrades but with the death of Wing it has now mutated and made itself known.  All it has ever known is violence and the kids are in there with it.  Colossus and Beast both tear into the wiring to try to break in.  The Danger Room, however, is connected to anything computerized. It is what brought the Sentinel to the school and it starts up the plane.  The X-Men will fight with it, but ultimately the X-Men are not his main target. Professor X is.  Can they save him from this creature?
