STORY: "Legion Quest, part 1: The Son Rises In The East" (22 pages)  Legion builds a dome in the Negev Desert, and the X-Men are called in to investigate. Unfortunately, they are unable to stop Legion from opening a portal in time, and Storm, Iceman, Bishop and Psylocke are sucked through it with him.

What you need to know:
Not much that isn't in the above paragraph, really. This is the first time we see Legion use his time-travelling powers, and that's about it.

Comments:
So it's back to the grind with more set-up. And what a surprise, it again takes the form of a big and rather pointless fight. Later parts of the crossover are decidedly more interesting, but this is little more than an action sequence to get the plot underway, and there's not much to be said about it, really.
