Maybe this part for some reason is easier on them. Which could make sense in that there is less running all around in this issue and less focus on "Avengers and X-Men.....FIGHT!", and more on the issues that are coming from all the actions that led to this moment.
One can only hope lol.

We can definitely hope. The issues addressed in this issue are something to build on for the second half of the series.

Possibly some of the most accurate comments pertaining to the Scarlet Witch I've seen in years. I hope she and Hope end up under a bridge in New Jersey.

First of all, this:
| In the better world that the X-Men have created, everyone is drawn by Olivier Coipel. And that is awesome. |
and this:
| I'd take some more points off the Avengers for this dickery, but really, why kick an Avenger when he's down? That's the sort of thing Thor would do. |
and finally:
But, see, there are two things to remember about Scarlet Witch: One, she is crazy. Mega crazy. Imaginary-babies-with-a-robot crazy. And two, she has a well-established bias against her fellow mutants. I mean, she wiped out almost the entire race one time. That's a firm bias. If she says those guys are dangerous, take it with a pinch of salt. Tomorrow she could wipe out all the hamsters because she thinks they're conspiring to build nukes.

Just picked up this issue. A big step up in story. Art is a million times better. It really steps up the pacing and feel for the issue. Although if I can give it one criticism, it's that this recent plot twist is highly reminiscent of Cable's Messiah story arc with a dash of Civil War. As many have mentioned, we all know where this is going.

LOVED this issue, which was perhaps the most unexpected thing to happen in this crossover so far, hahaha. I don't even know where to begin... - Beast's AMAZING reaction to, well, everything. - Magneto and Charles. - The dialogue. Hickman, you continue to astound me. - Wanda hurting Cyclops and spiriting Hope away.
But perhaps what I liked most... and I don't quite know how to articulate this... is where this event is going. If the Phoenix Five really are trying to make a better world, they sure are succeeding. I don't think this is what they meant when they said that the Marvel U will legit be forever changed, because, let's face it, something's going to go horribly wrong here, despite all the good the Phoenix Five are doing. It'd be nice to see a Marvel U (or at least 616 Earth) really become a better place for everybody. They could be fast-tracking the Earth to something like Hala.
I dunno, I just think it's really cool to see the "villains" flip it around and do great things for the world. But like I said, sh!t's going down at some point. I'm very interested to see what happens now. :) And I REALLY couldn't see all this coming during that supremely lame first act. Yeesh.

While the changes likely won't last, I think a cool side effect on what the Phoenix Five have done would be for mankind to view mutans in a much better light. Mutants gave the world peace and that's not something people are likely to forget. They should have a better opinion of the X-Men while the Avengers will be looked down upon even further for taking paradise away from them. I really hope they are going in that direction. |
Guess they are hading right into Marvel Now! Just got to see how they get there......
