scans_dailyThe first page from AVENGERS ACADEMY #30 after the cut. Some of the Avengers Academy kids talk amongst themselves about the Utopia kids dropped off while the Avengers and the X-Men try to "deal" with the Phoenix Force. It seems to be a simple "Stay there until the grownups save the world" situation, but things are complicated.
Warning: Race card playing.
X-23 and Finesse talk it out for a bit.
The Utopia kids want to go get chicken and waffles. The Academy kids don't think this is a good idea. And it seems neither class learned much about solving tense situations without extreme violence.
During this, Sebastian Shaw is fighting his way through the teachers. Shaw wants to get to the Utopia students, presumably to kill them in order to punish Emma Frost for mindwiping him. Only his plan might not be murder.

Color me unendeared.

The X-Plan makes them look like the Brotherhood of Mutants and basically kicks Scott into the role of Magneto, even lampshaded in the recent Magneto miniseries. It's enough to make me wish Xavier would come along, mind-stun them all, and say he's slapped a fucking trademark on the X-Men name and concept, because Scott and his team are so far from their original intentions it's insane.
