In the previous comic, Ord managed to escape with the help of the robot DANGER who both still seeks to destroy the X-Men. The X-Men are still recovering from Emma Frost's mental manipulations while she was under the influence of Cassandra Nova. Cyclops doesn't have his powers and Kitty is emotionally traumatized. Agent Brand of S.W.O.R.D. [Sentient Worlds Observation and Response Department] has her precogs working on the Breakworld situation and they discover who the mutant is who supposedly destroys Breakworld according to Breakworld's oracles and its Colossus. Brand kidnaps the X-Men as well as the now captured Ord and DANGER and is heading toward Breakworld.
There's a group on Breakworld led by Aghanne who tends to the sick and wounded of her planet and believes the end times are coming but only because of those who rule it, not because of some prophecy. Meanwhile, Powerlord Kruun is hunting down Colossus to keep him from fulfilling the prophecy.
Brand is not afraid of Kruun exactly. She's more afraid of the missile on one of Breakworld's moons that is aimed at the Earth. So, the X-Men head toward the moon to try to defuse the missile while on Earth superheroes do what they can to help, just in case and Colossus keeps Kruun busy by distracting him by pretending to carry out the prophecy.
This book explodes with action and is a fitting end to this four-part series. The plot twists and turns on a dime. Not everyone makes it through this, sadly. The art is vivid and sometimes haunting and the colors leap from the page. I have thoroughly enjoyed these books and this one was the icing on the cake.
