The starting issueof storyline tie in to the fear itself event. Great to see Greg Land's art work on x-men characters again. Brillaiant and awesome. Been a fan since he did the artwork for crossgen's Sojourn. The new look Juggernaut on the cover page is excellently depicted and you marvel at it all day long . Really worth money getting this. As for the storyline Juggernaut finally arrives in San Francisco the base of the x-men. Apparenly Juggernaut's power is not merely destruction but also converting humans to his cause and purpose. Here he uses his hammer to brand a tattoo to a human and he is a fellow converted before he knows it.
Meanwhile Cyclops, leader of the x-men meets up with the mayor to discuss about the chaos caused by the fear god and why it hasn't happened to San Francisco yet. Even the mayor is hotly depicted here in this issue. The other side story in this issue is Colossus tried to meets up with his sister that is locked because of the crimes she committed in the previous issues. But she is unrepentant and corrupted and seems there's nothing Colossus can do to ease the situation.
Interestingly Emma Frost also gets a visit from Namor. Namor is has seek the allies to help in his battle to regain Atlantis that is devastated by one of the minions of the fear god. He wants to see Emma for one last time and gets her to bed before departing for battle. Now it is known that Namor and Emma Frost has a relationship long before. But Emma rejects and Namor departs without batting and eyelid. On the other end Cyclops and the mayor receives news of the ongoing carnage Juggernaut is unleashing as he is nearing to the city. There is a two page spread of the terrifying Juggernaut on his way which is definitely a gem to look at. Next issue should be on how are the x-men going to match up against the new unstoppable Juggernaut. More action is expected.
