Abigail Brand, you little skank, that's the lowest of the lows. I guess we can all agree mutants are full villains now. Not just with Brands' actions and the terraforming of Mars, Storm acted pretty bitchy with Doom too, even though Doom was pretty reasonable, at least as reasonable as he can be. When you're douchier than Doom you quite fall into the villain category. I liked the dialogue bits but more

Touching political issues in a comic is difficult, you must find the middle ground so that there is a logic, but that it is not boring for the reader, it is not the great wonder but I think it was decent. Without doubting the star that is coming out is Doom, he already had a very meaningful conversation with Captain America, now he plays with Storm.

Doom was super entertaining as a antihero instead of the usual antivillain he is. Was not a huge fan of Maker or Mephisto stuff, and ultimately Victor is bound to return to villainy because of comic status quo, but Doom is one of the most complex characters in Marvel, and I hope more writers would take advantage of it instead of having him just be mad

Merlyn - Jun 25, 2021

Either way the future of Europe is in trouble if something drastic doesn't happen, the course of things right now doesn't go in a good direction. And extremist parties are gaining foothold on both extremes, left and right. I though the world would learn something from the pandemic but if anything it all got worse or at best, this stuff is ignored by politicians. I hope eventually cooler heads will prevail but I would be foolish to say that I really believe that.

Leylin - Jun 27, 2021

unified governments are useless: the throne world, spartax, the shi ar empire, etc. I mean, I understand that in real life unified governments do not work, but in the comics, they clearly do work.
