Yeah, got to say Kev Walker, as much as I like his art, may not be perfect for this. Especially considering how (revealed in Avengers #37), Franklin is still alive, but Walker really did not convey that well here.
His arms are wrapped around Reed's neck, that's enough for me
This reviewer seems to have missed a few things (like Franklin is NOT dead), but I'm glad he too was wondering lack of reaction to Namor's death.
Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's oldest character, will have been published for 85 years in 2024. So where's my GOOD Namor anniversary ongoing, Marvel?

I really enjoyed this issue. Alot of people were knocking the Illuminati for not trying this or that or going to Frankiln and it goes to show that they did.
"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'm kinda surprised at how many people thought Franklin was dead. That'd definitely be a downer moment. That last page was killer though!

Two things I think should be corrected in the review:
1. Franklin not being dead
2. Nowhere is said in this issue that the Beyonders "are the last hope the universe", while Strange in a previous issue said the Great Destroyer and The Beyonders were both after the End of Everything.

I'm not that surprised about the lack of reaction because in one respect I think they probably knew it was coming eventually but suspected it might have been the rest of the Cabal that would turn on him.
I really don't see how Franklin could be dead when you see no real reaction from Sue. I think Reed is holding him because their had to be some strain on Franklin with what they were trying to do.

Franklin was proven to be alive a few issues ago, in passing mention by Sue.
I'm not sure which is more surprising, that people think Hickman off-screened Franklin, or that people actually think 616 Reed is capable of sacrificing his family.
I mean, I hate Kev Walker's monkey art ruining my favorite Marvel title (I will never understand how Marvel's most important title doesn't have a better artist) as much as the next guy, but this isn't a time where he has failed to convey what is going on.
