And
we get a epilogue to the story of Quicksilver,
one of the biggest dicks in the Marvel Universe
and the one behind House of M and the guy who
screwed over the entire Mutant population.
HIT THE NITROUS AND THROW THIS B IN SPOILER GEAR
Quicksilver is in jail, probably after what he
did in Mutant Town and his work killing quite a
few mutants and he's cracked. He's beaten,
broken, and talking to his ghosts (Luna,
Crystal, Wanda, Magneto, and Layla). All the
people that have judged him previously. All the
people who have been unfair to him. All the
people who have done everything they can to love
him and in the same way destroy him.
But he destroyed himself. Did he lose his
powers? Or did he feel so completely guilty for
what happened that he wished his powers away and
hid behind his frail human psyche to actually
put up mental barriers to keep himself from
accessing his super-powers?
I always felt that Quicksilver didn't fare well
at the end of House of M. There was something
missing. He had been judged for trying to save
his sister and then for trying to find a way to
save those mutants who he damned (by stealing
the Terrigen Mists). Sure, his actions were
stupid and he never thought them out in advance,
but has anyone ever done anything stupid for
someone you love?
Right?
Peter David hit it RIGHT on the head. I am
completely happy to have my super-speedster
back. Especially in the face of the return of
Barry Allen at DC, this is what Marvel needs.
Their own kick-ass super speedster jerk who runs
faster than every other superhero out there. I
can only hope he is back for good and that this
is the return of something big for Quicksilver.
Maybe a Quicksilver ongoing written by Peter
David and Pablo Raimondi? Please Marvel Comics?
The final page was worth the price of admission
alone. From God's lips to my ears. That is what
he said. He mentions God's mercy and immediately
is thrown off the top of a mountain into the
bottom of a plane and thrown directly into the
ocean. THAT is the Peter David charm. And that
is why Pete and Pablo work. They complement each
other so well in the words and the art together
that they were born to do this book.
PLEASE!!!!! Oh and more Boo Cook covers please.
What a cover. I purchased the last issue of this
comic from my LCS and that made me super-happy.
This book is wonderful and people NEED to find a
copy. It is very exciting and nice to have our
pal Pietro back.
