"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
I knew Namor would do what he did the biggest surprise this issue was Storm and T'challa having sex, didn't seen that coming.
From what we see in X-Men, Storm's got a kid in the future. I suppose she's gotta come from somewhere.
I suppose if you're T'Challa and you're just gonna lay down and let the universes die (something for the record I think is flat out cowardly and stupid), that's the way to do it.
Everything dies. It's been said over and over again. So I am assuming everything is going to die. No choice in it but how you die. Are you going to choose slaughter, fighting against the inevitable? Try to find a solution to death so that you and others can live forever is noble, I guess. But, good luck with that. We know there is a way out because comic books. But Hickman has stated many time that everything dies. This story is about the choices you make before your inevitable death. Some of his characters rage against the machine slaughtering others knowing there is no solution. Others accept death and choose to go out peacefully. In real life we are all going to die someday. Are you going to go out raging or smiling? And if slaughter makes you smile.....
Reality is for those who are afraid of science fiction.
Sad that we only saw glimpses of the Cabal and have to wait another whole damn month for more
Agreed. I love the scope of this book, but I hate the way Hickman is portraying many of the Illuminati. There is absolutely no way Reed is going to completely give up even trying to find a solution, and would hardly keep Sue completely in the dark when he knows she's about to die with everyone else.
You know you are condemned to die. You are shown over and over again there is no solution to your death and your smartest friends cannot come up with one. You are given a choice on what you want to do with your last few days.
Reality is for those who are afraid of science fiction.
By the way, let's not forget that we saw Strange teleport to somewhere thirty seconds prior to the incursion, and that he wasn't at the meeting with the other Illuminati to discuss their survival.
edit: if he turns into a Black Priest, I will flip a table.

Yes, with "helmet" too.
The plot thickens!!!
Also, the last panel with Thanos and Cabal standing over fallen Earth...
isn't that one of the bombs in the background? (To clarify a question earlier on whether the Cabal actually had the bombs or not) It looks like they do have access to the arsenal. Of course Black Swan is on the team and she knows how to build them IIRC.
And as far as the discussion of the Cabal eventually turning on one another...yes, of course that is in play. Who on the team hasn't been known to double-cross when it suits their purposes?
Thanos and his generals are obvious but perhaps before that..Namor & Black Swan? Black Swan & Terrax? Am I getting ahead of myself?
