Banner and Skaar’s team up continues, and we can call this the “meet the mutants” chapter. Their father-son relationship is founded on Skaar’s paranoia and Banner’s concern that his green alter ego will somehow return and kill Skaar.
Last issue, Banner shot Juggernaut while he sat on the toilet via remote laser beam. This issue, Juggy fights Skaar. The fight ends when Skaar punches Juggernaut into outer space.
Then yellow-costume Wolverine shows up for a fight against Skaar, harkening back to “the classics.”
After that, it’s Daken vs Skaar.
All the while, Reed Richards and Beast are choreographing events from a comic book store. Leader is also watching these events.
The godawful backup story about Lyra continues across these issues. She’s still fighting the Black Gamma Corps, and Norman Osborn is behind it. It seems like he is the only villain these days.
I’m giving these issues a “C”. The Skaar stories are fine (he’s just not that interesting) and the Lyra stories are awful. That averages out to a C. Actually, I think I’m being generous–a C- might be more appropriate.
