I'm loving this event! People I talk to seem to undervalue what happened to Cyclops. This is the ORIGINAL 616 CYCLOPS! Its not a multiverse character. Its a big deal!!!!
We've already seen him in promotional stuff post-SW since the event started. We already know it doesn't mean much.
I was pretty much cheering when he died as a result of that, and hes one of my favorite characters. I know hes not going anywhere, and we don't have to risk the Phoenix being more ruined that it already has in recent years.
It was such a good read. It earned a 9.5/10
Hickman and Ribic continue their genius story and art that gives us Doom legions what we have always wanted: the good doctor at the center of the biggest event in Marvel's history probably....his dialogue and actions in this issue alone make it a very very memorable ride
4.5 out of 5 is a very good rating, and close to a perfect book. I would have Jim Johnson ghost write for me with his in-depth analysis of the turn of events. I didn't read one negative comment, and I agree that the story and art hit all the right beats, but I would go further and add the emotional turning point reached with this issue was so strong, it put anticipation for what comes next at a very extreme level. That makes this instalment of Secret Wars such a huge springboard to the possibilities of what comes next, and such a vital element of a good story. If you can leave your audience salavating for the the following issue, I wonder if that can be measured on a scale?
