X-Club #1

Beast gathered a brilliant collection of minds to become the X-Men’s first ever science team. This motley crew of geniuses has saved the day against Sentinels, Dark Avengers and Bastion. Doctor Nemesis and company get their own limited  series. A gesture of goodwill goes every wrong. Can the X-Men’s egomaniac team survive each other long enough to save the day.

Misty Knight is Marvel’s sexy, super bad, martial arts mistress behind the new “Heroes for Hire” concept but she’s really a pawn of a mysterious puppet master.
