This comic made my head hurt, in the good way. While I think this is a little bit lacking in terms of pure plot and great prose, the structure of the story is fine. The visuals remain gorgeous, which certainly helps. And to make up for the fact that this is only a so-so superhero story, we get a heaping great stack of cool meta-fictional insights. There are fascinating observations (and some subtle critiques) about the comics medium, the superhero genre, and the way Marvel comics are managed. I think it's damned classy that Al Ewing remains wholly optimistic about the value of breaking cyclical stories, something he's been trying to do at Marvel for 6 years. He even references one of his own great cycle-breaks -- changing Galactus more
