The Rundown: Graymatter Lane receives a visitor that needs help with a ghost from the past.
Emma Frost has another run in with Scott Summers and his team after they infiltrate Graymatter Lane to teach a lesson in its vulnerabilities. After the tense standoff, Emma leaves to meet with her team and introduce them to their first visitor who has come seeking help from the powerful mutants; Steve Rogers.
Captain America reveals a problem he needs help with that is linked to the aftermath of the super soldier serum experiments on black men during the war. Emma and the others recruit a small team to follow him into the past to reach out to one of the survivors. Unfortunately, the rest of the team gets lost in time and Steve faces off against a mutant who is not surprised to see him in his memories.
The Story: Ewing creates an entertaining and thrilling story in this issue. I like the tension between Emma and Scott and his legitimate fears about Graymatter. I also really enjoyed the moments between Emma and her team and the dialogue between the characters. Adding Steve Rogers was a great choice and the mission he and the team go on is an interesting one that has gotten my attention as a reader.
The Art: Palma creates some great visual moments throughout the issue. I really like the character designs a lot.
