  Un Cómic Más / Dave DSG

  Oct 21, 2026

  Plot
  The consequences of Red Hulk’s explosion in Russia are far-reaching, shaking the foundations of international politics. Captain Marvel attempted to absorb the energy from the blast, but only managed to do so momentarily; as a result, her powers are now diminished to 10% of their full capacity. Bucky appears not to have survived, and at least 9,000 people perished in that Russian town.
  
  David Colton—known as Miracle Man—is tormented by the event, feeling a deep sense of guilt as his own actions triggered the catastrophe. Wolverine serves as his anchor, reminding him that he, too, knows what it means to make mistakes. He urges Colton to make amends where possible, and to set aside the irreparable, focusing instead on addressi ng the problems that can still be solved.
  
  The United Nations is set to issue a decree to regulate superpowered individuals. Nick Fury Jr. has aligned himself with UN Secretary-General Riani, and S.H.I.E.L.D. will work alongside the United Nations to exert control over these beings. The United States did not vote in favor of this resolution—largely because the country is home to the highest concentration of superpowered individuals, and the government fears them—yet the U.S. intends to work clandestinely with S.H.I.E.L.D.
  
  Peter Parker is left shaken, but after an encounter with a relative of one of the victims, he becomes convinced that the Avengers must continue their mission to save the world.
  
  Reed Richards continues to analyze the box that granted Colton his powers. While its origin remains unknown, he has discovered that another individual—aside from David Colton—possesses powers derived from this same source. The power is linked to another dimension, though the exact mechanism remains a mystery.
  
  Overwhelmed by the situation, Tony Stark decides to retire from the Avengers. He chooses to focus his expertise on creation, utilizing a device originally belonging to Doctor Doom—a tool capable of generating universes and simulating how they evolve based on the decisions made within them. However, he catches a glimpse of a future in which Mephisto murders Peter Parker. In the end, it is revealed that Bucky survived the explosion and was recruited by Nick Fury. Captain America has finally awakened and is now recovering.
  
  The stage is set for a new Avengers saga, taking place in a world that hates them—yet one they have sworn to defend.
  
  Art
  The artwork is rich in detail, elevated to a higher level of quality through the use of varied textures. It features designs that are as overwhelming as they are mind-blowing, characterized by heroic poses and a wealth of textures that create a striking sense of dynamism. This duo of illustrators is truly magnificent.
  
  Summary
  The aftermath of Red Hulk’s explosion sends shockwaves through the Marvel Universe, leaving the Avengers to face a world that does not approve of them.

  Definitely the slowest issue of the series. Still decent.

  Astonishingly Awful

  Oct 21, 2026

  A solid epilogue, but the constant alternating of artists is annoying. Diaz and Alpizar are excellent as usual, but Ario Anindito is just not on the same level.
  The disbanding of the Avengers feels unnecessary and forced. Even if some of the big names are not interested in continuing, there are so many powerful Avengers out there who have been forced out of the spotlight in recent years. What about Monica Rambeau, who used to lead the team in the 80s? She-Hulk? Scarlet Witch? Blue Marvel? Storm? There’s really no need for the Avengers to hand over the cosmic level threats to the “Maximum“ X-Men.
