Plot
Laura manages to escape from her captors and begins to eliminate all the Sabretooth heads that are stalking her, while these Camo and Savage awaken a demented version of Graydon Creed. Laura manages to call X-Force for help but apparently that's what Graydon expects.
On the other hand, the Exiles manage to rescue Logan from the mind control over Wolverine.
Exciting delivery that continues the accelerated narrative pace full of violence, but nothing new happens.
Art
It is very organic and full of textures which gives it a gloomy and very detailed tone.
Summary
Laura manages to escape and believes that this call for help is hopeful.

Laura took the lead in this issue and was the strongest part of this issue. Thought bubbles do a lot to show her mindset and how she translates the information she receives from her senses.
The rest of the issue isn't as strong, despite having a fight between Sabretooth and Wolverine. The fight between the two characters falls flat with Sabretooth using others to fight his battle for him. The major change done to Graydon Creed is hard to swallow as well, him turning into a cyborg doesn't seem to fit his character well, and neither does the new name he gives himself.

We’re deep in the heart of the Sabretooth War, & this week’s issue doesn’t slow down on the action. Laura unleashes her inner berserker to escape captivity, the remaining Exiles make a dramatic entrance to save a battered Logan, & a distraught Quentin continues to struggle under the manipulative grip of Sabretooth.
The issue shines brightest w/ Laura. We see her feral rage on full display as she claws her way through Sabreteeth. Artist Geoff Shaw doesn’t hold back on the brutality, and Laura’s escape, culminating in a showdown w/ Savage Sabretooth, is a gory highlight of the issue.
Quentin’s internal conflict is palpable as he wrestles w/ his own conscience & Sabretooth’s malicious influence. His convo w/ Phoebe was so
sad to read as his helplessness was on full display. This is an entirely new feeling for Quentin who has never been one to let his insecurities show.
While the action & emotion is there, this issue feels a bit like a lull in the storm. The Exile’s growing role in the story is probably my least favorite development of this arc so far so their heavy involvement here weighed down my enjoyment of the book. However, the stage is definitely being set for an explosive final three issues. So, while this might not have been my favorite issue, it feels like setup for an epic conclusion. more

I feel very similarly to how I felt with the previous one. This wasn't a bad book whatsoever, but I also feel as though this could and should be stronger. I don't know. I really enjoyed the first two issues of this story, but everything else afterwards hasn't met those standards, at least in my opinion. With the arc and the run as a whole ending soon, I hope things can finish strong.
