Well if it wasn't obvious who the traitor was before WAY FOR THE COVER TO GIVE IT AWAY COMPLETELY! I hate this sort of art style. If they wanted to use that later, fine, but don't let your cover give away your freaking story. That's such crap.

Anyway, rant over on the cover, meanwhile the story was still amazing. It's one of the better Secret Wars stories. However, I worry, because must Secret Wars stories had a bad ending. Hopefully this isn't the same.

Continues to be amazing as it is.

Can't say much because of spoilers, but, I will say this. You owe it to yourself to read this series. One of the best tie-ins to the Event. I'm suprrised by how many REALLY GOOD tie-ins this event has. Nothing like Siege or Doom forbids, the Fear Itself's tie ins (ugh).. Not even close!

So A-Force is on the run, trying to hide since Loki betrayed them, and the whole Thors Corps are after them. Lots of stuff going on and also a great battle inside. Story unfolds and the ending is really nice. Can't wait for the next issue.

...Um... Okay, yeah, no. Don't talk to me right now. I'm... upset. I'm heartbroken but also hopeful and I'm also pretty darn sure America Chavez and Loki are a thing (bless Wilson and Bennett!!!).
But yes. This is what we've been waiting for. After the amazing first issue, the series slowed down and I thought of dropping it, but held on. Issue 4 makes it worthwhile. Here's the love, the cuteness, the action, and the "big reveal". My only problem is the choice of villain.
It's a great issue and hopefully the next one can carry the series into a victorious end of an arc.

That was super fun!

Indeed, this definitely kept getting better.

I'm sad that this is the penultimate issue of this series.

Also sad I didn't see the twist coming ahead of time. Really?

And sad that this series was canceled due to low sales. A superhero feminist utopia with strong female characters? Sad.

3.5/5

Singularity finds a way to get A-Force directly to the traitor. It's still a fun ride, and I'm emotionally invested in these alternate versions of these characters.
