We open with the preview pages of Creed in Hell, and having a run-in with Many-Face. Creed says he's one of the good guys since being inverted & he doesn't belong there. Face checks his file, and his inversion is located, but the credit it's earned him isn't much. The hospital will let him pay it off over a long period of time. Creed is still in pain and buzzes for the nurse, but face smirks & tells him his call-button isn't plugged in before leaving.
Creed pouts, insisting he doesn't belong there. He's one of the good guys now & there's worse people who should be there instead. He thinks about how he's glad he killed Face since she turned out to be such a jerk. And when he gets better, he's gonna wreck some **** again. He dozes off but wakes up to the guy screaming again. He gets up to go to the man's room, threatening to smother him if he doesn't be quiet. Until he finds out the guy is Graydon! Creed is confused at what's wrong because he looks great. Graydon brings up him & Mystique abandoning him for being human & how he exists because of them. He tells Creed to end his pain & smother him, but Creed can't do it. He thinks this is where he belongs after all.
Omega Red, Wade, Domino, and Mystique make it to Hell & try to find Creed. Meanwhile, Monet & Deathstrike stayed behind to keep Azazel honest. He killed them but have them in a frozen-time like state, which he can unfreeze so their healing factors can bring them back. Sabretooth pops through a portal carrying Graydon & his healing factor is working again. Mystique isn't happy to see Graydon. Grunting in disgust, she tells Creed to put him back where he found him & Creed tells her they're taking him home. Marduck appears to speak with the gang & he doesn't care about what they're doing, but points out Creed stealing one of his prisoners. Releasing his claws, Creed warns him that Graydon is coming with them. Marduck isn't going to stop him. He points them to the palace Stryker is living in & notes they have to stop him before he's reborn again. Above the surface, Mentallo has people lined up walking into the pit for blood sacrifices to Stryker. TBC. |
