What a great ending! This has me genuinely excited and very optimistic for the new Avergers series and what is coming down the pipeline. Chip is on a role right now.

Aunque juega con ideas bastante trillada en las dos últimas décadas, lo hace muy bien. Un prólogo para los Vengadores de Zdarsky y Chechetto que deja piezas sobre la mesa que apetece ver desarollarse.

It’s an ending, and a beginning. I would be scared of all the super powered heroes in America as well. However, Dooms probability machine, and that scene.

Oh no, Sam's alone, the last true team cap alive. Sobbing. But why not more Sam in this??

(I wonder if Sam's going to keep the arm and hug it at night like Steve obviously did during the Revolution saga)

Peter, sweet boy

David, I'm still such a fan, even if your suit is 10000% less cool and everyone hates you, I support all your rights and wrongs, just please be green again, don't care you're miracle man, you do you babe, but the blue/red/yellow is ugly

Very U.S. - we're not agreeing with the global ban because we're gonna do something much worse and don't wanna be held back

Of course Steve's first word is "Bucky".

Why has nobody recovered his body? Because it was dust until Fury arrived? Fuuuuck. And no arm, aww please don't let Fury fuck this up.
Did I need to spend this whole issue grieving? Cruel Chip, but forgiven as all the Steve adjacent sad boys live!!!

What a great ending to this event. This set up soooo much out of the fallout of Ross going boom. It feels like there are so many threads that I can’t wait for Zdarsky to follow in Avengers. I am SO on board.

Really makes you think if a world with superheroes would be cool or terrifying…
