My thoughts on this series as a whole have not entirely been formed yet,
at least not so far as I would feel comfortable making them public. But anyway, I highly doubt
that you came here to read what it is that I may or may not have thought.

| Writer | Penciller | Inks | | James Robinson | Ladronn | Juan Vlasco | The Devil’s Herald! After a brief introduction by Stan Lee, the story opens to a day several years ago. Moira and her ward,
Rahne Sinclair, are on their way to Stornoway by boat, after Moira receives word that there is some sort of trouble in the city. Once the two arrive, they
quickly find the cause of the disturbance, Reverend Craig is up to his old tricks again, and this time his target is a recently arrived mysterious stranger,
dressed in weird garb and unable to speak English. Moira attempts to save the man from being lynched, however it all proves unnecessary as the man
suddenly uses his mental powers to change everyone’s perceptions of what as going on. Moira recognizes the man’s ability as possibly being mutant,
and brings the stranger back to Muir Island. Once there, Moira begins to run tests on the man, but the test cause the stranger to go into convulsions,
and his mechanical arm suddenly starts growing tentacles and grow their way into her equipment. The lab explodes, and Moira is just about to be squished
by heavy debris when the man suddenly jumps in to save her, using telekinesis to shove the debris aside. The stranger uses his telepathy to learn English
from Moira’s mind, and he quickly explains himself and his mission in this era. Meanwhile, the stranger’s arrival has resulted in Apocalypse’s awakening in this era. |
