So I decided to start picking up the issues leading up to 250 and the Hell on Earth arc.
246 is a mildly amusing focus on Pip the Troll that ends with...

I already knew from internet spoilers that PAD has been severely pruning the cast in recent issues, and the cover for 250 only shows Madrox, Layla, Shatterstar, and Rictor.
If Monet does get written out, I hope it's not in a horrible way.

247 focuses on Madrox and Layla and a zombie Robert E. Lee and foreshadowing of Hell on Earth to moderately entertaining effect.
The real meat is the art accompanying the "Next Issue" caption. Combined with an offhand comment from PAD in the letters column, it would seem that...

But I still have enough faith in PAD that he'll genuinely surprise us, and that Hell on Earth will be worthwhile. Heck, at this point I'd be satisfied even if it was only as good as the Vegas arc guest-starring Thor.
