GENERATION X #21:
Our favorite....Jubilee's doodles! GenX write their mid-term with guest teacher, the Beast. Skin, Chamber and Howard the duck visit a tavern looking for Tores. Monet trances again and Beast ponders about it. Skin leaves the pub and in disguise, sees his mother at the cemetery and listens to her...then Tores shows up. Whats going on? The Beast then tells Emma and Sean that he thinks Monet might be autistic.
GENERATION X #22:
Hallowe'en! Skin and Chamber are back and when some jerks go to egg the mansion, GenX play their own gag on them instead. Emma finds Nightmare (remember the salad?) who "wants her help". After them talking it out, Nightmare then gives Emma a nightmare about all of her dreams coming apart at the seams. (look for these pics in the next couple of books.) He gave her a glimpse of all of the things that are to come to the team in the near future.
GENERATION X #23:
The day before Thanksgiving and Sean thinks about his daughter Terry (Siryn,X-Force), then joins Ev to take Monet to the doctors to see if she is Autistic. Three bashed in cars tells us she doesn't want to go. Paige and Chamber are at the Guthrie farm and talk about their powers and themselves. Banshee talks to Monet who's "apparantly" scared of doctors. Bastion is still
doing research on GenX and the little kids of GenX introduce Tana Nile to Howard the Duck. Paige and Jono argue when he says they can't be happy together being mutants. He says he can't see why she likes him and he can't be as caring as her father. (who is dead by the way..) This really ticks her off. Emma confronts Sean about the way Monet can manipulate him and Jono leaves Paige at the Guthrie home to go back to the Acadamy.
GENERATION X #24:
Christmas Eve. The girls of GenX go to Monet's home in Monaco. They talk about the first time they manifested their powers. Jubilee's was running away from the mall cops and accidentally shot her fireworks at them in her fear. Monet said everyone in Monaco was proud and celebrated, then Emplate warps in so only M can see, and gives her a guilt trip about being caught in another dimension. Paige's was at the Guthrie farm and Emma was put in an Asylum when hers first manifested. She used her power to manipulate the guards to break free. You then see Mondo, out back of the Acadamy, ask a hidden man if "it's time".
GENERATION X #25:
Mondo attacks GenX along with Black Tom Cassidy! Emma finds the house destroyed and is caught by Black Tom. Jubilee's running from Mondo when Bastion jumps in, shoots Mondo and kidnaps Jubi. Howard, Artie, Leech, Franklin and Tana Nile get attacked by Black Tom and are saved by the Man-Thing who teleports them away. (see "DayDreamers") Penance is "revealed" to be "deaf" and burrows underground to confront Black Tom. Underground he tells Banshee that he took Siryn away from him so he will take GenX away from Banshee. He then gives Sean an ultimatum...kill Emma to get GenX back. He then mind controls Emma to fight him. Emma (who's hurting Sean badly) controls his mind to make him sonic scream at her to stop herself. Seeing this, Penance leaps at Black Tom and slices him in two! This releases his hold on GenX who happen to be on a small chunk of land in the middle of the Ocean. Their nightmare has begun!
GENERATION X #26:
All of the kids are badly hurt and confused. Sean puts Emma in the infirmary thinking she is dead and sets out to find GenX. Jubi fights her way through Bastions headquarters. Monet goes ballistic and flies away, hoping to save themselves. Emma comes out of unconciousness and threatens Nightmare. Monet returns to the raft, exausted, and crashes into the water unconsious, Synch dives in to save her. Sean scans computers to find GenX when Emma steps in. Jubilee nearly escapes Bastion's headquarters but is re-captured.
GENERATION X # 27:
Bastion is showing Jubilee a bunch of items and stories belonging to the X-men to make her think they are dead so she will tell him their secrets. He is scanning her mind also. Emma scans Banshee's mind for anything that might reveal where GenX might be. Bastion shows Jubi an image of Wolverine being tortured, she knows it is fake and so the screen picks up Bastions memories instead. At end of book, features the now famous, "Cooking with Jubilee" skit by Jim Mahfood.
GENERATION X #28:
Starts on a sunken ship that was raised from the ocean. Everyone is in a dream world where they are living their "dreams". Skin is hung from the lookout cause he will not give in to this force. Jubilee and Daria talk. Skin confronts "Glorian, The Shaper of Dreams" who has risen the boat and "helped" GenX. Glorian thinks he is helping them, but Skin knows better. He ends up convincing Glorian to give them their lives back and they get zapped back to L.A....Skin's hometown. Glorian gave Angelo his wish...to be back home with his friends. Emma scans Sean's mind again and talk about if they are really helping GenX. There is a touching moment, they find an abandoned ship (too late!) and then recieve a distress call from the X-men. Jubilee fakes being lamed up and attacks Daria...Daria freaks out and......
GENERATION X #-1:
"Flashback" to Emma and Sean's first meeting. New York City, 16 year old Emma Frost enters a Samual Cumburland's Annual with a forged invitation, using her psi powers she scans people's minds for information in the stock market. She uses her powers too much and after meeting Harry Leland, who offers her a ride, passes out in the bathroom. Waking up with Lealand gone, she leaves and gets ganged up on and chased by a group of men. Sean (an NYPD detective who is watching Lealand) runs out to help Emma. Something takes the men and Emma wakes up in the Dark Beast's lair. With a brief talk, they both decide to help each other, until Sean bursts in. Battle erupts and Emma stops it by psi calming the beast. Lealand and Sean's partner stop in also and Emma uses her power to make them leave and forget everything. It ends with the Dark Beast and Emma saying they will help each other and with a small foreshadow of the next issue (#29) and that would be it!
GENERATION X #29:
GenX is in L.A. and go to Skin's cousin Gil's house to hide for a while. Monet seems to be acting strangly. Far away Emma, Banshee and Penance (in disguise) search for one of Emma's business' that isn't being watched, so they can hide after their plane was shot down. They go to Florida. At Gil's (MORE SUGAR BOMBS!) Skin decides to contact Tores. Tores contacted Zero Tolerance (Bastion's) and told them where GenX was. Sentinals attack everyone including Tores, so Tores joins GenX to help escape also. In Florida we find that Penance is feeling fear again when D.O.A., Emplate's lackey, shows up with a message from Emplate. That is if they want to find GenX he will help them, but he wants something in return, he wants Penance back! After freaking out earlier when Jubilee blasted at her, Daria's powers activated. Jubi helps Daria calm down and regain her form. This issue ends with the Sentinals hot on GenX's trail.
GENERATION X #30:
Finally we see at least a small portion of Penance's mind in play. Penance is watching the conflict between Banshee and the White Queen while they argue whether or not they are going to agree to Emplate's demands...to give him Penance and he will reveal were GenX is. At this point in time, GenX is running from the Sentinels and have come across Tores' underground car forum. This is the chance for Monet to put down Chamber about his feelings towards Husk. Now we get a sappy display of affection and understanding between the two...'nuff said. Only problem is that the Sentinels are multipling while they talk. Back to White Queen and Banshee, looks like they ended the conversation...with one of White Queen's psionic lightning bolts to Banshee's head! She then psionically commands Penance to follow her to DOA (Emplate's sidekick) in order to hand her over to Emplate. At Bastions headquarters Jubilee is starting to lose it when Daria decides that she is a freak too and free's Jubilee. Now the weird yet interesting part...what do you do when you're faced with your death? Synch decides that he will kiss Monet...and she agreed! Better look out for those Sentinels guys cause here they come...
