This is a “what if” story about if the Scarlet Witch took away all the powers from the superheroes. Which doesn’t seem like that horrible of an idea until you read this book. So everything that has powers, now doesn’t, leaving Iron Man to fight all crime alone. Ultimately this book is about a villain uprising, and the obvious moral “We can accomplish  anything without powers, if we just stick together!” Which I consider to be the low road.

I mean, it’s annoying that they just wrote about the most boring, easiest, blatantly obvious scenario that is intrinsic to any story in which you take away anyone’s superpowers. It’s like saying you are writing a sci-fi story because it’s based in the future.

I really thought the art in this book was ugly, I hated looking at it. It looks as if they traced over original Aeon Flux cells, and morphed them into various Marvel characters. It really kicks me in the balls to see Marvel putting out such a bad looking comic.

The retribution story in this book, will make you puke out your colon! –Slugtron

One thing that I think makes this book suck, is that even though it’s a one shot, based completely outside of continuity, it was still somewhat pulling it’s punches. It just wasn’t thought out as well as it should have been. The poor story paired with the bad art is laughable, someone should be fired for this mess. I hated it more than Marvel Apes!

This comic might have been able to hold up the stature of the idea if it weren’t a one shot, but it was, and it turned it into a big waste of time. This is like trying to cram an entire season of lost into a single episode. Don’t pay for it.
