Owner's Description
This one wasn’t too bad. But for the flagship X-Men title I guess I was wanting more. The cover to me is awesome and left me believing that somehow the X-Men were about to do battle with a Celestial. I figured Cyclops was about to get crushed by a thumb….Nope. I did pick this one up on eBay for a very reasonable price and do hopes to one day get Cover Artist Carlos Pacheco to sign it along the thumb.

This one is actually a little rare compared to most Moderns now a days. There are a total of 12 graded with 10 graded as 9.8 including this one and 2 in 9.6. It is comforting that it is the highest grade but I would like it to stand out so CGC SS here we go. In that category there is a grand total of 0 which would certainly set this apart from the pack.
Story Title: Everything is Sinister! Part 3.
SUMMARY:
The battle between the Extinction Team and the army of Sinisters continues. Hope uses her telepathy to protect Cyclops’s squad from Sinister’s psychic powers. Suddenly, Sinister drags hope into the astral realm. There, Sinister tells Hope about the conflict between nature and nuture, and says that her nature is also the missing piece of her nature. That missing piece is only one word: “Phoenix.” Angry, Hope teleports to Sinister’s palace and shoots the Sinister in the throne. However, Sinister transfers his mind to another body and his army subdues the Extinction Team.
Suddenly, Danger manifests the Danger Room inside Sinister’s palace and destroys all the Sinister inside, saving the Extinction Team. They leave the palace, only to find more Sinisters. Emma tells Namor to hold her arm, to which Namor believes to be a sign of affection, but Emma replies that it is just to keep pressure on her wound. Then, Emma uses her telepathy to channel the power of the Dreaming Celestial’s head, dissipating the Sinisters.
Suddenly, the original Sinister appears before them. Emma tries to use her telepathy on him again, but Sinister proves to be immune to her powers, having used his connection to Cyclops’s brain and the army of Sinisters to gather data about the X-Men and their powers. Then, Sinister steals the Palace of Fine Arts, saying that even without the Celestial’s head, it serves as a headquarters. Telling the X-Men they will meet each other again, Sinister grabs his gun and shoots himself in the head.
With Sinister gone, the Celestial’s head returns to the body, and Magneto breaks his connection to the Celestial. Magik teleports the X-Men to Magneto’s position and witness as the Celestials arrive at San Francisco. The X-Men walk towards the Celestials and Cyclops says that Earth is under the X-Men’s protection. He also says that since the Dreaming Celestial is on Earth, he is under the X-Men’s protection too, and if he is in danger, they will save him again. Hope, shining with a soft fire aura, says that what Cyclops is trying to say is that the Celestials should leave.
Suddenly, the Dreaming Celestial lifts his arm and points towards the sky, and the Celestials leave Earth.
The X-Men realize that the people of San Franciso witnessed everything that happened. Noting that they are petrified of the X-Men, Cyclops says that as long as the X-Men exist, they will not dare to touch a mutant. Emma asks if that means that their ascension into Earth’s premiere superteam is inevitable, and Cyclops replies that if it was inevitable, they wouldn’t have to work so hard.
PERSONAL COMMENTS:
Had a couple lines and action scenes in this one that were preety cool looking. First one was the scene Sinister is monologuing with Hope and when asked what does she think after this huge speech she shoots him just to make him quiet.
Second favorite line, Danger walks in and just goes bad assed on Sinister. Her comment "welcome to the Danger Room" was awesome for this specific point in time.
