Review of issue #1:
I like the dynamic that has been created in this comic book. It is similar to Civil War in feel, but stands well as its own individual piece of work. The plot involves the Inhumans, Captain Marvel and Iron Man leading each side. We get a glimpse of Miles Morales at the beginning of the comic, which is nice to see. Peter Parker as the original Spiderman is also present within the conflict. The concept is interesting but I feel it could have used a bit of development. This may be due to the fact that I have not read any of the other issues leading up to this event, so I won't be too harsh. I am actually on Tony Stark's side for this conflict since I personally think it is unfair to try and detain someone for something they might do in the future. Tony's believes more people might be hurt if the visions seen by the inhuman Ulysses are taken as truth and they try to stop them.
SPOILERS:
Tony's assumption ends up being right. Captain Marvel and the Inhumans try and stop Thanos and end up badly injured. Rody ends up dying in combat and She-Hulk is in critical condition. Doctors don't know if she'll wake up or ever walk again. She ends up waking up by the end of the comic but her heart monitor flatlines. We still won't know her fate until issue 2 and beyond. I really can't wait. I would have liked to see Rody's death and the battle that ensued with Thanos. Hopefully we'll get more flashbacks in the future. The deaths and injuries of the characters definitely give reason to see Tony's point of view. I like that for once he isn't the cause of the conflict escalating. Well, until issue #2 then.
