Nightcrawler gets a distress call from Bloody Bess and teleports to help her. Apparently, they're great friends now and even have romantic tension. They kiss twice in this issue alone...
Anyway, the Crimson Pirates were on a mission to retrieve the female member of the Omega Clan from stasis and all of them got infected by Shadow King except for Bess, thanks to her psychic defenses.
The two run around the West China Desert, fighting off the mind-controlled pirates and the Shadow King.Some pretty good action scenes. The rest of the X-Men show up, instantly get taken over by Shadow King and Nightcrawler prepares to fight them.
Pretty boring stuff. Shadow King is such a bland villain, every story with him feels the same and the fact that he took over the likes of Psylocke and Rachel Grey instantly yet he's unable to take over Bloody Bess is lazy writing.
Still, art is nice and the action is fun.
