The 29th review 22th BOOK "X-Men: Blue"

This book is very good, this book has an amazing story that can interest the reader. And I have read this book more than once. You should read this book! By Rifaldi Fauzan

Inside the Blackbird, Jean has detected an odd mutant signal with Cerebro that is very different from all the other mutants she has detected, almost like it’s a glitch. Iceman comments that Jean shouldn’t say “glitch” inside the Blackbird. Beast says that Blackbird isn’t who Jean is “insulting” but actually Cerebro and if it did turn against them it would just fry Jean’s brain. Iceman is shocked at how morbid Beast has become.

In Arrow Ridge, Colorado, the X-Men finally land at where the mutant signal was coming from. Jean does a psi-sweep of the area but ends up finding some tracks instead. Before they can follow the tracks the X-Men are confronted by Sheriff Kira Lee tells the team to stand down.

Looking at the team Sheriff Lee decides to show them the body of Wedigo that has been killed by a person with claws. Jean asks if this person with claws is an old man. Sheriff Lee says that the person was a young guy that she has been tracking for a few days now after he saved her life.

Sheriff Lee mentions that the young man seemed alone and was hunting Wendigo for a while now, which is why she was looking for him. The X-Men offer their help in the search, which Sheriff Lee accepts.

As they walk through the woods Jean asks Sheriff Lee will allow her to look into her mind for more information. Sheriff Lee turns down the offer. Jean instinctively thinks about looking anyways but stops herself.

Suddenly the team hears the “Snikt” sound of claws and find James Hudson, who tells the team to turn around and leave by the count of three. Jean tries to knock Jimmy out with her powers but his mind has some sort of mental block. Jimmy charges at the team so Cyclops acts fast by blasting Jimmy with an optic blast. Jimmy quickly recovers and goes after Cyclops. Jean uses her powers to send James flying through the woods before he can kill Cyclops.

Angel and Iceman go check on Jimmy and they recognize him from their visit to another world (Ultimate Universe) where he was their Wolverine and son of Ultimate Logan.

Jimmy gets back up and attacks the team, knocking Iceman and Beast down quickly. As he charges at Cyclops and Jean he is stopped on his tracks by Sheriff Lee, who shoots Jimmy in the back several times. With Jimmy stopping for a few seconds it gives Iceman enough time to make himself into a giant ice monster and smashes Jimmy unconscious, surprising Beast and Angel with his powers.

Beast checks on Jimmy and wonders if he has the same healing factor as Logan. Sheriff Lee says he does.

Iceman gets his teammates attention by saying he is ready to fight the Juggernaut. Jean tells Iceman to power down as he is acting oddly. Iceman goes back to his original form while reminding his teammates who took down “Wolverine Jr.”

Sheriff Lee wonders if they should use handcuffs on Jimmy. Jean says they won’t be necessary as they want to prove they are his friends, not enemies. Jimmy suddenly wakes up confused at what Jean just said. Jean tells Jimmy that they are the X-Men and they can help him. Sheriff Lee suggests they continue talking somewhere else.

At a nearby bar Jean asks if Jimmy really thought he was someplace else when he attacked them. Jimmy says he can’t remember anything. Iceman brings up Jimmy’s world and if that is where he thought he was and if he killed the other version of him. Jean thinks that is too far.

Iceman then wonders why they aren’t getting strange looks at the bar. Jean says she tweaked everyone’s minds to make them appear like normal customers.

Jimmy apologizes as all he can remember is pain. Cyclops wants to take a step back and explain how Jimmy is from another world. Jean says that while Cyclops was in space with his dad the X-Men met a mutant who could travel to different worlds. At that time the X-Men ended up in the Ultimate Universe where they met that universe’s X-Men, including Jimmy and Iceman’s counterpart. Angel mentions that his counterpart was dead.

Jimmy says he does not remember anything that Jean and the others are saying. Jean tells Jimmy that they will help him recover his memories.

Before they can finish talking items in the bar start floating in the air. That’s when the Ultimate Universe version of the New Marauders, made up of Mach-II (Nomi Blume), Quicksilver, Armor and The Guardian, appear. Mach-II says they are their to bring their “companion” back.
