    Do we even know Saturnyne's current power level? We've seen her freeze time and perform all sorts of high level spells.

    Mad Jim is extremely powerful but I wouldn't rule out Saturnyne since we really don't know where she's getting her power from or how much she actually has.

    I know we first saw the cover months ago, but this seems like a good time to be reminded that this may be the most gorgeous covers I've seen in years....

    The kingdoms of Otherworld are ruled by extremely powerful people, but none are extremely powerful enough to defeat the rest on their own.

    It is in everyone's interest to have a central power to moderate among them. Mad Jim Jaspers is powerful.But enough to take on Monarch, The Fury, Merlyn, Malcador and Roma all at once? I doubt it.

    Exactly. While Jaspers could probably take Saturnyne, the other powers wouldn't be happy with him in charge.

    It is basically a Cold War of super powerful beings. Neither is interested in open warfare. Now it makes more sense for Apocalypse to seat Jaime on the throne. He is basically the most powerful mutant Krakoa has. They need someone like him so Avalon isn't seen as weak.

    Now that you've mentioned it...that puts a lot of things in greater perspective.

    Insanity is not a factor in Otherworld's diplomacy, only power and cunning.

    Another issue of no fighting, just political intrigue and verbal backstabbing? We're 1/2 way through and not a single sword has swung. Get on with it.

    If Storm would have said "B1tch!!! That must be your top lip you're smelling".

    I would have bought 100 copies.

    Also, Death trying to throw some game.

    Had that happened, I would have let out a nasty cackle the likes of which I haven't since this similar incident...

    Didn’t Wanda strip him of his powers in the Decimation? Maybe it’s not fully back yet?

    (Or, considering how little of the current Otherworld hives with all previous versions; Hickman couldn’t be arsed)

    Are you implying that Death is a villain?
