This issue it got really interesting. I think this entire series is in fact the set up as Pietro as a major villain personally...or his death. Or Pietro as a complicated hero/villain type which I enjoy. Hine's said that the start point and the end point for Pietro were mandated to him, and the route was his choice(s). So there are obviously plans. My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way. Cobalt, Reboot & iB present 21st Century Legion: Earth War .

Crystal's behavior was unlike her, but she was under the duress of just having her daughter kidnapped. I hope she makes apologies to Lockjaw and to Medusa (who did have a son-- but I've forgotten the ins and outs of his story. Something else else to do with Mephisto and Daredevil, I think. What was his ultimate fate? I should know, but I think it occurred in the early 90's- an era I skipped out on, except for the LEGION and a couple of other DC titles). I'm not quite clear on why Pietro would travel to Genosha to administer the terrigen mist therapy. No super-heroes to confront him? I would've thought he might look up his surviving sister for the first doses. Oh, well- another opportunity wasted. Poor Calisto. Her scenes were effectively written, conveying her sense of handicap post M-Day and her exhilaration at being repowered. And then, the cut of the teeth biting her ass as a result of that repowering. Gotta say, the artist draws a beautiful Magneto. I'm looking forward to next issue- though I'm also dreading it, because I don't see how the characters featured here (all of which I'm very fond) can make it out intact.

In other words, another 'soft' ending. Points off for that. HOWEVER, what is there is 'cherce', IMO. Pietro's now positioned as a unique player in Marvel. Some are calling him a villain, now. Some still see him as a misunderstood hero. I think him just about the saddest character I've encountered in a comic in quite a while. He's done some awful things. I think the character realizes that about himself and his actions, compounding his sadness. Some awful things have happened to him, too. Pietro's new role as the possible De-Decimator is interesting, but it's almost overshadowed (actually, it's completely overshadowed) by one whispered little word. "War" breathes Black Bolt. The Inhumans vs. the US government. Now, this can't be good. I would've liked to see a little diplomacy attempted before BB utters his havoc-wreaking syllable... but the Inhumans have been separated from humanity. They gave the general a chance. He was foolish not to take it. It's a pretty one-sided 'war'. I don't see how the government could justify this general's actions. It'd be like someone stealing the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution from every library, bookstore, museum and database at once. It'd be nice to see the Marvel heroes rally around the Inhumans and partially seal up any rifts that have occurred due to CIVIL WAR. But that ain't gonna happen. The writers are going to have to work overtime to persuade me about any arguments used to sway Cap or even Iron Man to side against the royal family in this case. I suppose the 'war' might simmer for some time... coming to a head after CIVIL WAR. That'd surprise me a bit.
