Wow, I went from almost hating the first issue to loving the second. I gave it
a 10 out of 10 and reviewed it here with pictures.
Charles Soule writes a strong issue here, with a good pace and lots of reveals into this new world. Both sides are at war and Soule writes each character very well. It’s clear they’re war torn, angry and exhausted via their dialogue and actions. It’s fun to see Storm, Colossus and others pop up in this issue too and Soule very efficiently gets us inside their heads.
How about some spoilers?
spoilers:
The issue opens with Tony Stark following the trail of the shooter and Tony is heading into The Blue using a drone to follow the trail. The drone is destroyed by Storm however and the trail ends there. From here we get a scene with Colossus and Storm and they send Tony a message via this drone. The message is about sending a Hulk next...which sparks something for Tony and this investigation.
We then find Cap and Spidey discussing a new weapon. Beast uses it on Sandman and his powers are taken from him. That's not very heroic!
We then get a handful of scenes with Tony and She Hulk, some of them both post coitus, as they seem to be come upon who the perpetrator might be. He asks She Hulk to go into the Blue without her powers activated to follow the trail.
Meanwhile Spider-Man headways a team to infiltrate into the Iron. He's got Elektra, Venom and the new Black Panther with him. They are quickly attacked by Sentinel Iron Man robots and Elektra is vaporized. Ouch.
The final scene is with She Hulk as she infiltrates the Blue. Xavier is brought in for an extra check to see who she is. Uh oh.
To be continued! |
