Goddamn! Best issue in the series, with some great Omega throwdowns. And that final page? Being on #10!

*sighs* I'm the most hardcore fan of the Summers family in the world, and they managed to find a way to make even me bored with a member of the Summers family.
You need to give Vulcan a relatable "hook" to draw in the audience. Right now he is just a collection of raw power, trauma, and confused memories. He lurches from one near-death experience to another, often with downloaded telepathic memories that he did not agree to. Over and over and over. The biggest problem with getting fans to care about him is that he had no ordinary childhood, either on Earth or the Shi'ar homeworld, so there is nothing else to get attached to. No scenes of him fishing, or taking a hit playing football, or crushing on a girl at prom.
He's a void.
So, this issue is repetitive, because it's more of the same. Vulcan is so much more powerful than anyone expected. Xavier tried to download new memories into him without his permission, and, huh, it didn't work out great. Heroes we actually care about suffered and died at Vulcan's hands, oh me oh my.
At least this issue acknowledged that Vulcan and Deathbird had a kid. One we have never actually seen, but, still.

I’m really enjoying the direction of this series and this issue is even better than the last. So if I could give it a six out of five, I would. Al Ewing really understands what makes these characters tick, and I really love his dedication to Sunspot/ Roberto DaCosta… so yeah, after reading this issue, I’m not entirely sure but I think we can expect more of that Avengers U.S.A. energy moving forward…

Fuck that was a sick moment for Sunspot
