This was a weird one. It's an epilogue to the Infinity Wars event that mostly focuses on a brand new character. There's this man who's on death's row for a murder he didn't commit and the Time Stone, now imbued with a soul of its own, chooses him as an avatar. And now he has the ability to stop time. So he uses it to escape prison and his impending death. That's the main story and it's okay. Nothing special. There's a little bit of the issue dedicated to the Raptors attacking Phyla-Vell and Moondragon in order to find out who has the stones now. So the Raptors are still vying for the stones after everything in Infinity Countdown and Darkhawk, and that means they'll probably be the antagonists for Wolverine: Infinity Watch. That's good to kn
ow, I guess. Finally, we get a little bit more with Loki who won't reveal what exactly he saw at the end of Infinity Wars but now he's teaming up with Future Old Man Phoenix from Thor/Infinity Wars. And presumably, that's where Infinity Watch picks up. So I mean, as an epilogue, it sets everything up for what comes next. Clearly, this man who has the time stone will be part of the Infinity Watch, which Loki and Logan are somehow involved with, and the Raptors will most likely be the threat and that's fine. But I mean, as an issue on its own, it's just kind of lacking. I'm not very interested in this new character and I felt that the Raptors already had their moment in Guardians of the Galaxy and Infinity Countdown. To have them play a major role again is kind of a retread. They changed a lot since then, sure, with the events of Darkhawk, but still. I'm excited for more Loki though. I really like his character. All in all, I didn't really dislike this issue, it was just sort of middling. more
