In the previous books, S.W.O.R.D. (Sentient Worlds Observation and Response Department) has been butting heads with S.H.I.E.L.D. S.W.O.R.D. has Ord, the alien who came to earth to kill the mutants because it was foretold that one of them--an X-Men--would be the end of their world. Right now he is locked up tight and Agent Brand of S.W.O.R.D. is trying to find a peaceful solution to the situation. Brand has an inside man in the X-Men headquarters. Meanwhile, Emma Frost has been talking with a mysterious group that turns out to be the Hellfire Club.
Kitty Pryde is having a hard time dealing with things and is having nightmares about losing people, even though she now has Peter back. Emma and Scott's relationship is rocky and Emma goes in and manipulates him using her powers into believing that his powers no longer work, so they don't. She lets in the rest of the Hellfire Club members and they all go to work on the others. There is something in the mansion that they want and with Charles gone they see a chance to get it.
This book is all about manipulation of the mind. Whedon does an excellent job of doing some manipulating of his own. It's also fun to see what happens to Wolverine. The dreamscapes are rather vividly drawn. It will be interesting to see where this comic will go on the concluding one titled Unstoppable.
