" The ruler of a people is preparing for the possibility of attack? I AM SHOCKED! "

Preparing for a possibility is one thing, but she's acting like it's a sure thing. And in doing so, she alienated one of her allies and pushed him away.

Well, given what Emma is planning, it turns out she's right?

Emma is, the X-Men weren't until Beast overheard Medusa.

Of all the things in the issue that seems unhanded, this really didn't strike me as one of them. She even says 'we won't start it, but we'll finish it', which has been pretty much the watch words of her reign, so far. If Hank is really a genius (as they keep saying over and over in this issue), this should not be even remotely surprising to someone who has been hanging around them for eight months.

The thing that bugs me is that whole sequence. I mean, the art is confusing, but what's happening here, did Medusa come into the same room that Hank is in to make that call? How does he go from some tower room somewhere to crawling over her communications panel? That whole scene felt to condensed to me. Maybe he just walked outside her chambers and then he came back in, but the art doesn't communicate it well.

Honestly I think its the fact she is hiding it from Beast that bothers him more than anything.

Now look I shit on Beast as much as the next X-fan, but I am trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. I think if Medusa had been honest with him about her stance, rather than just smile and grin as she made plans for war Beast might have been fine.

I say "might have been" because Inhuman contingency plans tend to be extremely....final for those on the receiving ends of them. Maybe he knew it was coming but hearing it actually spoken aloud just made it real about how close all his friends are to getting killed.
