A time killer before going into Second Coming. This felt like all those little one-off fill in issues you'd get in the 90s between all the Events. De ja vu all over again.
That said, this would have been perfectly decent filler if halfway through it didn't turn into a Gambit & Rogue issue. Does anyone care about these two anymore? If so, why? Rogue has progressed really nicely under Carey, but constantly going back to her romantic connections with Magneto and Gambit is just three steps back. Oh, and who was that random mutant she was trying to mentor. Felt like that came out of nowhere.
