Juggernaut advance to San Francisco is still unstoppable and basically this issue has lined up a whole lot of strategies that the X-men deploy in trying to halt Juggernaut. The first strategy is calling an old foe of X-men now turned bartender Avalanche to create chasm to stop Juggernaut. Its good to see some old mutant bad guy character trying to help out to stop another threat to mutants. But nothing stops Juggernaut as he walks through air.
In Utopia, Emma Stone and Hope are in the ward incapacitated due to the psychic battle with Juggernaut previously. Emma's mind is corrupted as she gets vision the phoenix, Cyclops previous lover is incarnated as Hope. Emma knows what needs be done and tries to murder Hope. The scene stops at the murder attempt though. Meanwhile the X-men is throwing everything at Juggernaut and there's detailed description of each attempt here from Pixie trying to teleport it, Rogue's trying to absorb its power and boiling its blood all end up failed. At last count there are 42 plans to stop Juggernaut and nothing is stopping him.
As the X-men runs out of approach, Cyclops enlists the help of Colossus's sister, Magik to stop Juggernaut who also derives his power magically. Colosus sister's weaves her magic and transport them into the Crimson Cosmo where the magical being Cyttorak resides. Here the artist's artwork of rendering the Cyttorak demon is topnotch and menacing with horns and fangs. There are that many shades of red imaginable in these crimson cosmos panels. Cyttorak is the creator of the avatar Juggernaut. Magik persuades Cyttorak to disown Juggernaut as Juggernaut now serves the Serpent god. Cyttorak agrees and Magik declares another avatar is needed and volunteered herself. But there's a twist ending as Colosus forbade her and puts himself as avatar. Colosus gets transformed into another Juggernaut. A battle between Juggernauts are definite in the next issue and expect more mayhem. Colonaut go.
