BONUS REVIEW by John Doc Schaefer
Finally, the epic conclusion ends after delay after delay and I am left feeling cheated. With all the hype, you know... Young Avengers, the Return of the Scarlet Witch, the marriage of Doctor Doom, etc ! I thought I'd get a lot more out of this. Get ready for some mega spoilers here! Doom doesn't get married. The Young Avengers disband. Cyclops holds a grudge and doesn't want Wanda dead now but wants her to live in mental agony forever. A Magneto, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch reunion. Wanda goes her separate way and right into the next big mini-series. Ant Man returns to life, his daughter dies in his place. The Vision dies again. A new version of Kang will rise from the ashes. In essence, nothing we haven't seen before over and over again!
The big question here is "Is this the real ending Heinberg had in mind when he started this or did the evil time altering corporate execs at Marvel rewrite history to accommodate a future storyline in some other million issue crossover extravaganza! Good news, the Scarlet Witch is back. The bad news is it really doesn't matter.
