I'm still not entirely sure why the Evolutionaries have switched from pro-mutant to pro-human or why the High Evolutionary appears to have thrown in his lot with them. But, Yost makes it pretty clear that he's getting there, so I'm not in a rush. Meanwhile, he's moving everyone into position for the eventual team-up, sending Justice and Speedball to New York to look up the Evolutionaries in the Avengers' files just in time to meet Sun Girl as she tries to defend the Morlocks from the Evolutionaries. Along the way, Yost continues to have a way with dialogue; I particularly enjoyed Sun Girl in this issue. ("Step away from the weird sewer people.") Yost's challenge after this initial arc ends is going to be to sell us on a reason why the Warriors are going to stay together as a team. He seems to set up that reason here, since the now-global Avengers aren't even in New York to help Sun Girl. But, again, I'm not rushing it. For now, it's fun just to read a comic that so far isn't taking itself too seriously.
