So I'm loving this series. It's pretty outstanding. I just like all the moving parts and people involved and it never feels messy. I'll just give a quick rundown on my thoughts on various storylines.
Ralph and his dead wife is really compelling. I have no idea where it's ever going at any point and think it's been done very well.
Steel and Lex having their beef with Steel's niece caught in the middle is really interesting and I'm trying to figure out where Lex is going with it.
The Question and Renee Montoya with Batwoman fun times is good stuff too. I could read Question and Montoya go back and forth forever. Sounds like they'll be saying what's up to Black Adam soon though which is........ so weird to me and I can't wait.
Black Adam is by far the best part of the books to me because, well, fucking Black Adam is a boss and I've always loved the character. I feel like things will fall apart when Black Adam goes "Hey y'all I got a heart now. Coalition over."
Supernova story with Booster and Clark is interesting as well. Clark being peppered into this without powers is a good time. I always like reading Superman stories about him just being human. And Booster Gold's entire story has been really interesting so far because he's a quality douche.
Adam Strange, Starfire, and Animal Man is such a weird combination for being stranded and I like it except Devilance seems really fucking stupid and his design reminds me of a low-rent Galactus.
And although it's been pretty low-key, the kidnapped Mad Scientists are really interesting. Morrow thinking he's next is worrisome. I really, really want to know what happens there but it's taken a hardcore backseat.
I think I got all of the moving parts in this volume though. I really enjoy it! I can't wait to read more!
So I was going to read House of X/Powers of X, but it's a bit pricey. But I'll buy it if anyone else wants to vouch for it's quality. So instead I think I'll read Volume 1 of Immortal Hulk. I'm not totally in love with The Hulk, but I heard this is a really good series, and I've actually really enjoyed any quality Hulk stories.
Feel free to keep guessing my favorite Marvel villain though! It's still not been mentioned yet!
