PERSONAL COMMENTS:
Originally I had picked up a pristine copy of this one and got it slabbed and graded. 9.8… Yay… yet it just still didn’t look good enough. While I would love to find the single 9.9 or maybe even get a 10 Gem on my own I figured this would take many submissions and probably an attempt at a good old pressing before I got close to it. So one day checking out the old bay and I see this copy on their signed by Cover Artist Frank Cho. Needless to say while I was salivating at the chance to get a 9.8 SS I also had no need to break the bank. So threw up a bid of what I believed it would cost for comic and slabbing yep $28 bucks and let it ride. Three days later, Congratulations here’s your invoice. Holy crap I won. I won. Yessss says the man jumping for excitement about comics while others in camouflage attire looking like bad asses stare with confused and bewildering looks.
Needless to say I was stoked about getting this one. I am now this much closer to getting a 9.8 SS for every 1st print for the core series.
PERSONAL FAVORITE LINE:
But I'm not your dead wife, Scott. That's not my story. – Hope Summers
Man do I love the Character they are building Hope into.
NOW FOR THE BORING STUFF
Published: May 2012
KEY ISSUE: It is the start of the war that breaks friendship’s, brings upon the world destruction and eventual rebirth, and kick starts the mutant gene again. Not to mention someone pretty big dies and with the follow on of Uncanny Avengers I have no idea how they can bring him back from death after this one.
Brian Michael Bendis and Jason Aaron story
Frank Cho art
Frank Cho Cover – Gotta say I truly hope Frank Cho puts this cover up for sale. The Original Art looks amazing.
First off there are NINETY FOUR of these graded with a crap load of printings and variants. Of those 1 is a 9.9…MUST FIND IT… and to include this one 82 are 9.8’s with 17 SS’s included. I guess for now I’m content with the one I have but until I can find the single 9.9 or submit one of my own I will have to keep my hands on this one. I may however look to getting the other one I have cracked and signed by Bendis, Aaron and Cho then pressed. See how that goes.
Story Title: Prologue – With a title like this you would think yawnnnn boring but you’d be wrong.
MY TYPE OF SUMMARY:
So in the opening pages we immediately see things are going to go boom with this series. One of the coolest characters, Scarlet Witch uses her…. Witchy Powers??? On Big Head (MODOK) Always thought of him as a lame bad guy. Anyways Big Head wants to get to an ex-A.I.M. scientist and Scarlet Witch is all like NO.
Lots of things go wrong for MODOK while Scarlet Witch uses her witchy powers and eventually Ms. Marvel and Spider-Woman shows up and to me I would give up just to be hand-cuffed and talked dirty to by them.
So after all of that the two Avenger Hotties ask Wanda to come home with them as if that will really go over well. Cause the annihilation of the Mutant race and killing her friends and causing the death of another’s child is just easily smoothed away in the course of one battle.
They get to Avenger Land and oh no who would have thought, Vision doesn’t really care for his Ex anymore. Seems a little cold and all but after everything I think I would be a little as well. So off goes Wanda in tears and Vision goes to his room to pout also.
Next we cut to a scene on Utopia, X-Menville, where Hope is preparing to use her newly acquired jet pack. Love it, she can take any mutant power she wants yet is still unable to simply give up on a jet pack… Go figure. So her and Scott get into it. She re-informs him that his wife is dead, which is bad assed and flys away after using his optic blasts against him… he now knows how Wolverine constantly feels.
So she interrupts a bank heist by another group of lame ducks the Serpent Society and takes guys that used to take the entire Avengers squad and turns them into D-List villains. Best part is watching her go all muscled out, “hey are you a mutant by chance.” So while she’s punching Cotton Mouth to a pulp Scott and Emma show up and are all you are ready for the Phoenix. She tells Scott duhhh!!! And now she’s back on Utopia. Yay… It’s Coming.
