I wasn't as big a fan of this issue. The Viking trapped in ice didn't really work for me and then he constantly spok about the time masters, but we were never introduced to them. Also the grandfather not recognizing his own granschildren behind the masks was weired. I think he should have recognized them but purposely didn't say anything.

I'm still not sure why Rucka revisted these characters after all of these years. the story ended with Forever and Infinity escaping the family. He may have made a deal with one of the streaming services and needs additional stories, that's the only thing I can think of. The character moments are good, but ther are no action scenes in the entire issue. Not sure what the story is even about.

This was a pretty epic issue. John Stewart sacrifices himself to ignite the power batteries. All of the power batteries -- I'm not sure that's how it works. Wouldn't each power battery need its own sacrifice since they are all different emotions? Hell, what do I know? The action is good, and I like the interaction between Hal and John.

I'm not sure why we needed the first couple of pages, when they mean nothing to the story. However, after that, the pace speeds up and never stops. I'm not sure why the club owner didn't kill Emma. That's a hole for sure. The fight with the Sentinels was great. It was definitely a throwback, and the save from Mystique was classic. Looking forward to the final issue.

It's good to see Frank back again and for Marvel to get its head out of its ass regarding the use of the logo. Get over it, guys. I wasn't much of a fan of the artwork. Everything is overblown.
