At first I thought it was weird since the bottom said 'part 3 of 5' and I'm like... whoa, what the hell happened to part 2? It kinds like they wanted to consider both the X-Men comic and the Guardians of the Galaxy comic part 1, since they both happened at the same time, but from their perspective. Well anyway, I checked their checklist thing on the last and this is indeed part 3. The Shi'Ar decided that the Classic Jean Grey, who was brought to modern day by Beast alongside her 5 teammates, should pay for the crimes committed by her future self as Phoenix. Even though this younger Jean has not committed these crimes yet, the Shi'Ar still send soldiers after her. The Guardians of the Galaxy show up to help but after the fact.
The comic starts with Scott having a dream of Jean saying she found his 'I love you note' and asked why he never told her sooner. He then snaps back into reality and finds himself on a spaceship with his friends and the Guardians. Iceman and Angel explain the situation, and that yes, the raccoon and tree do talk. Scott demands to know where's Jean.
Jean wakes up trapped in a forcefield bubble and sees a huge gathering of different kinds of aliens. She wants to know who they are and is confused as to why she can't read their thoughts. Gladiator introduces himself to her and says they've seen to it that her mutant powers won't work there. She wants to know what's going on and he says she's been brought her to pay for her crimes. She doesn't know what they're talking about, but Gladiator doesn't care. She yells that they don't have the right to do this, and suddenly her she's sent flying out of the ship, still in the bubble, into the dark empty void.
On the outskirts of the Shi'Ar Empire, the X-Men and the Guardians talk a little. Kitty blames herself for everything that happened. Rocket Raccoon asks why they brought kids from the past to this timeline, and wishes Iceman would stop calling him a raccoon. Scott says they came to the present because he told they were supposed to prevent an apocalypse feels they were lied to. Angela asks Beast what mutants are, and he explains. Just then the ship is being rocked. They were found by the Shi'Ar. Rocket Raccoon tries to talk to them.
Angela and Groot get ready to leave the ship and enter the battle as Quill navigates the ship closer. Gamora tells him to be careful. Just as he brags about being able to dodge the Shi'Ar attacks as if they were nothing, their ship is hit. Kitty says she has bad luck in space.
Jean Grey wakes up and sees a woman sitting at a table, named Oracle. She is also a 'minder' what they call telepaths and she tells her she's been transported to the Shi'Ar homeworld. She tells Jean that she will be put on trial for her crimes and asks if she already knows about her legacy when she entered this time period. Jean says she was shown the future, and Oracle asks if she understood what the Phoenix was.
Jean says she saw her whole life in a burst. Jean asks what she's being accused of. Oracle tells her she murdered a planet. Jean is saddened but says she hasn't. Oracle tells her to look inside herself. The Oracle states she sees no memory of Jean's actions as the Phoenix. Jean says she would never do that, and if she knows she's innocent, she will tell the others. Oracle says that's what the trial is for, and says she admires Jean's sense of love and caring for so many. Jean yells at her and Oracle advises her to watch her temper. She then leaves, and Jean is trapped in the bubble again in the emptiness of darkness.
Angela, Groot and Dax leap into action, while the others stay behind to watch the ship. X-23 wants to join them, but Gamora wants to keep her on the ship. Rocket Raccoon wants to propose to Angela when all of this is over (random??) when suddenly another spaceship arrives and says they'll help Quill 'wrap things up'. Quill tells his men to get out of the way as the other ship fires a blast at the Shi'Ar vessel.
It's the Starjammers and both Corsair and Quill thought the other was dead (Corsair thought they wouldn't survive the ordeal with the Badoon). Scott is confused as to why everyone is calling this guy 'Summers'. Corsair says if they're going to attack the Shi'Ar, they can count on his help. Quill says there's someone that would like to say hi. Cyclops is shocked to hear 'Major Christopher Summers' talk to him and ask him who he's talking to...
My Opinions-
Hoo boy, now even the Starjammers are getting involved. It's gonna get wild and crazy. I remember them from the 90's X-Men cartoon, and to top it off, Corsair is actually Scott's father. They didn't quite get along in the 90's cartoon but I'm not sure if that was the case in the comics. Considering that Classic Cyclops still thinks his father and brother are dead at this point of his life, imagine his surprise to find out that his father is alive and a space pirate. All while he's still wrapping his head around the fact that they're now dealing with aliens.
On the same note, Jean is getting a fast forwarded abridged version of her future life. Imagine finding out the future you caused galaxy levels of genocide and a race of aliens wants you to pay.
I do like how Iceman's jokes keep things somewhat positive. He's the jokester of the group and tries his best to keep his sense of humor despite all of this going on. He's been one of my favorites so far, besides Rocket and Quill. Can't wait to see what happens next.
