The issue starts off with a vision of the pearly gates before which one of the Purifiers stood. It was revealed that Fantomex had the man believing that he was in fact now in heaven while Psylocke puts her psychic power to good use in an attempt to coerce information as to Jonathan Standish's location and plans out of their quarry's lips with Deadpool as the not so angelic attendant of the gates playing 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'. Instead of a lollipop or some other confectionery dentists tend to give out to their patients, Fantomex granted the Purifier at the end of their therapy session salvation with a bullet through his head.
A ticking neuro-bomb on board Standish's plane was all it would take to send as many people, whether they want to or not, to heaven before the super-powered blasphemy could drag their sells to hell, or wherever they popped out from in the first place, and Wolverine's kill crew was all it would take to stop it from happening.
With the widespread chaos and destruction around them, it's highly rational for normal human beings to regard everything with the potential to kill anything in its sight with exquisite, indiscriminating fear. The X-Force was no exception in this case. The issue depicted the recent Rapture affair with much violence and gore, which makes us somewhat grateful we only had a mob of normal narrow-minded human beings heralding the alleged end of times in everybody's faces, or rather, the instant those involved be raised to heaven, leaving the unbelievers to their demise with the destruction of the planet. The chillingly peaceful image of the Wolverine and his team standing in front of the cathedral where Standish was decapitated by Wolverine himself and after all that had transpired and was still in the process of transpiring was, for want of a better term, a poetic piece of imagery.
