scans_dailyThe threats just keep on coming.
And, oh yeah, we learn a truth about the nature of the Negative Zone.
MASSIVE SPOILERS and some gore behind the cut.
The War of Four Cities continues.
The Kree invade.
The Annihilation Wave invades.
The Inhuman king and his wife launch THEIR counter assault.
Namor and his Atlanteans hold the line.
And Earth's defenders hold back the assault on all fronts..
But that's not whatyou are here to see, you've seen it dozens of times in the past 40 years of Marvel. THIS IS what you came to see.
This is how the Human Torch died.
This is what triggered his return.
Turns out you can't really die in the Negative Zone, as the Anti-Priest kept preaching.
Here's how they did it.
And after months of repair and combat arena events and meeting up with the Light Brigade (members of the alien Inhuman elite from the Badoon/Centauri/Dire Wraiths/Kymelian queens) we come to this.
Johnny Storm now leads the Annihilation Wave.
I'm not doing this story justice. You need to get this. It's one of the better "returns" yet to occur in comics.
Welcome back, Johnny.

Interesting, but I wonder...
1. Based on the stich marks on Johnny in the gorn panel (if that's no gorn I don't know what is) they're fixing him. What I find funny is that Johnny didn't just go evil, he enslaved Annihilus. I find that rather odd. Maybe Annihilus 2.0 isn't exactly up to snuff.
2. Having Johnny fight then repair him and then fight and then repair him seems like they stole the "Talia's sister kills her and resurrects her until she goes bad" (well more bad) plotline from DC.
3. Annihilus wanted to expand the Negative Zone so it encompassed everything. If he'd succeeded what would have happened to mortals? Would dead have become a revolving door- oh wait, the Negative Zone is apparently Marvel's land of "death is cheap." Sadly, we've already explored the implications of no death with the Cancerverse. I'm not truly interested in the idea of you die, you come back. This is Marvel, it's not a new concept.
