Overall, I enjoyed the event as a whole, but the main series was extremely underwhelming.

so what do people make of the vampires being in hell with all the other mephistos
The fuck did I just read
I agree it was underwhelming, but I enjoyed seeing the Avengers triumph at least. Felt kind of sad for the Squadron Supreme trapped in our world, especially Hyperion looking for Peter Parker. :/
After reading my friend’s copy I can say that the only redeeming quality of this issue is that it was the last.

Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
Agreed. Not only does it not provide any more substance to Mephisto (we still don't know what is Mephisto's deal in-story aside from knowing out-of-story that he's the Devil so he is bad), it instead promises more Mephisto going forward.
One thing that is funny is, in contrast to DC Comics' Superman/Batman, here I find the motivation and character of Hyperion far more interesting than Nighthawk. I also find Blur to be more interesting than the Flash (But of course I don't think Blur could support years of comic book solo stories).
That's because Blur lacks two things Flash has - a decent rogues gallery and a large family of heroes.

I think this could had be better if it would had be a three issue story inside the Avengers series.
