Cover: Felt cheated with the cover. No Iron Man in action. Nor Ikaris in costume(dream doesnt count). No Iron Man/Ikaris. No background. No fair.
PrevPage: Not bad.
1 Still not embracing the art style for this storytelling. Or the detail-lite backgrounds.
2 Neat flashback(undoubtedly) panel to include.
3 La Sylphide and Luchadors! Its good to learn realworld stuff.
4 Is the seaquarium in Olympia a new idea? Has Ka-Zar ever appeared in same comic as Olympia?
5 Socrates goes on the Dog List.
6 So, Tony and the Helicarrier are in Washington this time; *sarcasm on* they certainly get around *sarcasm off*.
7 VERY unclear what happened to Mak. And then there's... Tiamut?
8 WTH? Mak up and running?
9 Thru a crowded bus depot and shattering glass on innocents seems like an odd shortest route to choose.
10 Hmm. Takes Mak over 4 pages to 'get there' and IM only 10 minutes. Obviously not relative to each other but still jarring sequentially. Sending The Order back would make for some sales and some sense too.
11 Sersi's lights are out. Sersi was not to bright - taking on DC.
12 Tiamut, you say? More Celestial backstory to waaait for.
13 At least Tiamut is more talkative than Dreaming C; but then what male wouldnt talk to a babe in hot pants .
14 Horrible sequence read like they completely ignored the result of the ending of Eternals mini series.
15-17 Fast car. Slooow pace. Nothing interesting here - except possibly implications of Thena's question.
18 Nano tech does not work in cold??! Since when? Thats a big drawback improperly ignored in many Marvel titles. Good drawback, though - and alternative to grape nihai.
19-22 Garsh dirn it - theyre ending it with a redundant Gilgamesh sequence that doesnt really go anyplace new yet. A regeneration display but no big deal since the Olympia machines'll just reproduce 'em if they die anyways. *yawn*




Dane too!Batgirl too!
