I see the Illuminati series is still doing nothing to make those guys seem heroic.
I agree about the non-heroic part but it was also great to see that conversation. I don’t know if I liked Namor and Reed finally getting it out in the open about Sue or the line ‘Black Bolt is laughing at you in his mind’.
And I swear every month I won’t look at these things, especially my favorite series (Ms Marvel) but this time I’m glad I did. If there wasn’t at least a little dampness in one eye after that exchange between Carol Danvers and Hank McCoy, you’re less human than the Vision.
hm im liking the whole idea of making the illuminati look like arrogant-blind-kids, its very real. well at least i think thats what Marvel is trying to do…right?
Illuminati: I haven’t cracked up this hard since the poker game. “Silent War” kind of takes the fun out of it, though…
Ms. Marvel: Awwwwwwwwwwww. Leia/Wicket moment.
Ant-Man: Jeez. I know it’s going to make me puke, and I still can’t wait.
FF: Oh, that’s gonna be some sweet payback. The real idiots always ASK for it.
