The team sets out to the lighthouse in wait of Captain Britain's return, or so they hope.

This issue and series post 'X of Swords' has really improved. I had mixed feelings about it for awhile, but now I'm really enjoying it. This issue was a lot of fun. We got to see some multi-dimensional action happen, and also an apology that took decades in the making.

It was really nice to see Pete Wisdom show up. He brings a very sarcastic negative tone to the book that plays against its bright and more positive feel we have come to enjoy. It would be great to see him become a permanent team member. I really think the team is lacking an anti-hero or someone who is more pessimistic and Pete Wisdom would fill that void perfectly.

This issue really tied up some loose ends from the 'X of Swords' event. It also sets up a few storylines for future issues. I do wonder what direction this book will take after the events in this issue.

Overall this was a fun multi-dimensional ride that I really enjoyed. It gets me excited to see where this series will go and what surprises it has in store for us.
