Enjoyable issue.

Anyone who doesn't think Cyclops is a villain probably has changed their mind by now.

I'm glad Stark ended the White Queen's telepathy quickly. It seems that Cap is one step ahead of Cyclops in every aspect.

I am now hoping that Thor shows up and mops the floor with the X-Men, but I can't see that happening with him in space.

About an 8/10.

Yeah... but Cap's side isn't exactly angels either with Wolverine about to gut Hope without a second thought. Okay the evidence presented to him made him think okay she has to go down. But stabbing? What makes you think that's honestly going to work against the Phoenix force a second time Logan? :smt011

I'm siding with Ultron. Only real side we fans should side with. Not the apes or the flesh creatures. Machines. They're completely trustworthy so they can wipe us out.

The only thing that really bugged me about this story is the fact that Tony lasted more than two seconds against Magneto. That should've ended quickly.

Tony's armor is magnet proof as is Doom's.

Tony could hang on for a while.

I think so, I don't remember seeing the solicit for it in the back of the issue though...

Some of the captions in this issue are awesome. Reminds me of old school Claremont.

yep, like i've been saying, Tony has gadgets/tricks to counter Mags and Emma, at least long enough to let him get some licks in (or for help to arrive).

OTOH, i thought it was pretty sneaky how Cyke & Co. had a plan to get Doc Strange off the board early too. pretty nicely played by both sides early on.

some were pretty terrible too. "most expensive punch in history" for example...GROAN. :roll:

Where is the Professor in all this?

Well, I meant awesome in a terrible sort of way.

I was just coming here to post this.

Wouldn't there at least be some Illuminati backstory with Stark?

All she had to do was throw a bottle of Scotch at him :lol:

Anyone notice the Scarlet Witch's journal saying "this is how the world ends"? Looks like the main premise of Hickman's SHIELD series will pay off in this as well.
