"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
But now Karnak knows this about himself.
He is not without flaw as he would like to imagine.
A main character who is basically lying to himself is right up Ellis alley.
Its just that said character just HAS to be a misanthrope because nearly all Ellis characters are.
Karnak IMO, didn't even have the hidden streak of humanism that most of his characters did.
He was just a dude who somehow weaponized his nihilism.
I really enjoyed this series, and feel that it ended in a way that validates everything that came before it.
What a rubbish book. Hard to believe it took so long to write such a totally underwhelming conclusion. At least it's over.
I think that's part of it. He sees the flaws in everything and that leads him to basically see everything as flawed. But it also prevents him from seeing the good in anything. I'll have to read this all the way through at once. But it's worth pointing out that the family asked him to rescue their son. Karnak asked for an object that let them believe the world was a kind and beautiful place. That object was a picture reminding them of a conversation they had with their son where they told him he could be and do anything. The story ends with Karnak destroying both that possibility and taking away of the memory of it too.
I think the flaw the story is trying to portray is the flaw inside Karnak - his bitterness and cynicism that turns everything around him to dust.
That being said, I might have to re-read the story to say that for sure. The delays certainly hurt this book a lot.

This thing was still going on? It started in like 2015! I mean, from what I remember I liked what I saw but again, only 6 issues in more then a year?!
Delayed and hurt by the art shifts but not bad. In the end I think I think it was Karnak realizing the flaw in his teachings. He spends his life teaching people they're nothing, but these people taught their son he could be anything and that turned out to be true.
How was the bad guy actuallly bad? I cant remember now that i yhink about it

He wasn't. Maybe he needed a bit of restraint in his powers, but he's only bad if you think that letting people make nice things is bad.

Karnak makes Namor and Emma Frost look like Steve Rogers. Y'know before he drank the Nazi kool aid.
I completely forgot the payment he asked for in the first issue. Delays really hurt the story flowing really nicely. But this is how I see it now. The story is called "The Flaw in All Things" for a reason. It's meant to question everything Karnak believes in. Adam wasn't really a bad person, but Karnak's insecurities and hubris has taken away from the possibilties of Adam doing good things in the world all because Karnak was selfish and intimidated. One could almost see Karnak being the villian of this story. I still think story needed 12 issues not 6.
