I liked this issue a lot. It feels dense and packed. The Susan Storm Appreciation is getting too overboard, like the Four are nothing without her and so on.
I was disappointed that Magneto called Ben Grimm a rocky brute because both of them are major Jewish characters, and I was hoping the two of them had a discussion about that but anyway.
Zdarsky writes the hell out of Doom. Scheming, manipulative, and double-dealing as always.
I hope that there's going to be a major Magneto v. Doom fight in the next issues...because I feel that's what the set-up is leading to.
Offtopic, but since you're talking about Stark, it's a bit awkward that everything about the Robot Revolution and the Sentinels doesn't converge at all.
This was not as good as the first one I think.
But it was ok. LOL man the X-Men whooped the FF had them running for dear life.
I honestly thought it was not enough. Like, C'mon, it is an island full of mutants...and they couldn't stop 4 ( and susan was ko'ed for a while) people? Ok, telepathy is out of the equation...what about everything else they have? ( That psylocke panel was so dumb. Like OOoO they have anti-tp techh what do I doo. Girl what about your TK???) I understand though, that it was not a fight to the death scenario( I don't want that to happen, btw) and that they needed to escape so that the plot progresses. But even so...it felt really stupid that a whole island was unable to detain 4 people.
Credit to Reed on his smart move to wake Susan up. Everything else they did was complete stupidity. Getting that close to the council, running when they got caught, Thing sucker-punching Piotr. Hang the intruders.
Doom looking to show up Reed. Typical silliness. Valeria shines as she should, Kate and Franklin sounded good, everyone else felt off to me. The mainline X-Books claimed this week, by intergalactic levels.
Let’s see how this unfolds. Next.

I feel like Psylocke in crossovers is used only to say obvious stuff in a single panel and show the psychic knife. Remember IvX where Medusa of all people pwned her? Or AvX where she got beaten by Daredevil? (I know this is Kwannon but for the sake of this story it didn't really matter).
So I dont read F4 at all. But do they always come off this annoying.
Everything they spout is petty or spiteful.
Is this how they are in-character?
