Wonder how apocalypse would react to his people being slaughtered while he was gone with his family?

Read this over the weekend. Not as cheesy as I thought it would be, but somehow worse? I dunno. Some jingoistic non-sense about Ameeeerica uniting Earth's survivors and impressing the Big Bad enough to hit the Reset Button might have actually been less facepalm-worthy than Mr. Military–Industrial-Complex and Mrs. I-lilled-4-billion-peeps-but-it-wasn't-me-even-thought-I'm-the-Phoenix-or-something-it's-complicated nagging the Big Bad into submission.
Editorial really, really needs to start telling Gillen to stop writing OP AF villains who spend half the freakin' story talking about themselves. Too late for Sins, but oh well.

Thanks. I agree, my answer was pretty amazing. But to give a more serious answer, she's boring. The other humans had a hook, were hot, or were endearing. But Katrina came off as fake right away. She was one of those people who sit on Twitter and talk about wanting justice, mostly so she could get clout. She never actually did anything to help at the time. She finally starts helping people at the end, and immediately becomes a smug, self-righteous jerk with an inflated ego - to the point where the Progenitor says that she's become a worse person for the experience.
Also, I just got bad vibes from her. Lo and behold, I was right.
I won't lie, when I saw that final panel about Katrina I burst out laughing. I remember how ridiculous some members were about Katrina from the jump but wow, you guys were 100% right.
Just finished this comic. And you know what, I liked it. This was my first Marvel event since... Well, the first one in decades, and it was worth it. I got all the comics written by Gillen, and they hold together quite well as a story. Well done, Marvel.
I especially loved how we checked in with the selected humans throughout the story, including at the end. They were facing Marvel Universe dilemmas that are hard to imagine here in the real world. Like how does Tom explain to his son that the world was ending, but superhumans they'll never meet fixed everything at the last minute? What do the family do with the knowledge that his suspicion of the unknown gate killed them? Or Katrina feeling smug about how she spent her last minutes saving other people. She was a hero, it's true, but the reset undid everything, including her sacrifice. Or poor Komali mourning her husband who's still dead even though everybody else was brought back to life. Or even the weird way that Syne The Memotaur connects two random people in different parts of the globe, even though they'll never know it.
An excellent event.
Random follow-up in the last AXE Eternals book, the 'settlement' that the Eternals have begun to make with the various factions include this fun tidbit. The Arakki now have permission to have 1 hour of Uranos' service at any time in the future, to unleash on anyone *they* want smashed into oblivion...
