The cover has nothing to do with the contents... not just yet. Grampa Logan seem to look tired and not angry. The artwork and the new costumes are great though.

The 16th instalment brings us back to memory lanes. Why not? X-men is all about time travel. 1st we look back on x-men's visit to Lydia Nance's home, segue to Kitty and Lydia Nance's Interview on a TV show called CROSS TIME...ugh!!!

LYDIA NANCE- was the director of the Heritage Initiative, an anti-mutant organization, secretly working with the new Brotherhood of evil Mutants...and an Alien

We then drive over memory lane to witness kitty recycle her relationship with Colosus under hotel sheets...YAAAAASSSS!!!

Kitty and Colosus' hook up must've been bad luck 'cos it lured alien ships to earth. Nuff said. Rachel tp calls kitty and discovers that her best friend is still naked with Colosus. Her turn to pick on her leader but kitty orders her not to enjoy the moment. I love this two!

Apparently, the mysterious alien Kologoth's story hasn't ended yet. We've been seeing and reading bits and pieces about him since X-men Gold started. So his armada of alien ships come to pick him up. Ships flyover new york, gets attacked by earth jet fighters, which sadly goes down in a flash.

It's Gold team's turn to take on the alien ships. Grampa Logan has definitely gone rusty. He falls off the ship and Rachel tries to rescue him.

BOOM!

Rachel goes to dreamland...AGAIN!!! If not for upcoming previews, covers, write ups, i would have been scared that Rachel got hit unconscious with that alien ship's powerful blast. Everytime Rachel sleeps, she gets more powerful. I hope she gets TK amped this time when she wakes up.

Kologoth is rescued by his alien LOVER. Yes, Our naked alien friend is Gay. We don't know if Storm got shookt at the sight of tattered Rachel or Aliens having a romantic moment.

The artwork's kinda mediocre for me. But the story is slowly getting interesting. I did burst into laughter on kitty and Rachel's dialogue.

I guess Guggenheim is inlove. This issue is certainly about love. Humans showing love for mutants, mutants making love, topped by gay alien love.

There's much to find out on the next episode of Alien Gays of of our lives. Can't wait for the next issue!!!
