Synopsis: Sabretooth depixilated Shard (iss. 136), and she wanders a dreamscape, landing in her (future) past, in the XSE. She fights exhumes alongside Bishop, then joins the XUE, a band of renegade law enforcers. They want her to get Fitzroy for them.
She and Bishop interrogate Bantam and confirm that Fitzroy can jump through time. The XUE breaks into the maximum security Pool to get him.
Review by CharleyX: X.U.E.!? X.U.E.!? It's bad enough that half of the X-characters today already seem to be from the future, but now they're adding a whole new team? It does have some potential, though. I just wish the art was better. Rouleau can't seem to draw a straight face or a proportional body. Ugh! Anyway, the plan seems to be to use Fitzroy to send the team back in time to change the past and prevent their present from ever happening. Sound familiar? The mystery backer is intriguing, and I think it might be someone we already know. More later.
