Book 2 opens up with more depictions of the “cullings” of humans for Beast and Apocalypse’s genetic experiments.

Magneto, who somehow got hip to the fact that he exists in a parallel universe to a better one if Charles Xavier never died, sends his fractured X-Men off to achieve different goals. The most interesting include a bizarro Logan and Jean Grey as outside-the-law mutant dilettantes and Gambit and his band of merry X-Ternals zipping through time and space in the hunt for some mysterious gemstone or something. . . .I dunno, sometimes it is hard to devote your whole mind to these tales (who knew you could talk on the phone and read at the same time?) but the pictures usually look really cool.
