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.

Surge really is a lot like Cyclops. She's a good, maybe even great, leader in the thick of combat, but really just has no clue how to handle the emotional aspects of being a leader.
Oh, and she kissed another guy (Hellion) while she was still dating someone else (Prodigy). The parallels between her and Scott just keep piling up...
