Uncanny X-Men #13

A new four-part arc kicks off in Uncanny X-Men involving both the Outliers and flashbacks to a mutant in the pre-Civil Rights era named Henrietta Benjamin who travels from Chicago down south to Louisiana. While both are interesting, and very much separate, it's a bit unclear how to stories fit together yet. However, they do involve Haven House and the bizarre tomb known as the Artery which Deathdream leads his friends to in the middle of the swamp (where they also encounter another familiar face). Somehow, I'm guessing Henrietta's fate will play a role in where the Outliers go from here.

We don't get much of the X-Men in the issue, although the comic does feature a B-story of Gambit being visited by the dragon Sadurang who the X-Men met in the comic's first issue and returns in hopes of altering the deal struck with Gambit and also a warning of what might happen to the mutant should he decide to hold on to the Eye of Power.

[Marvel, $4.99]
