Danger Club #7

Listen.

Everything you remember is wrong.

Three months ago the universe was in deadly peril. Our mentors and our guardians and our parents... they were summoned to battle a great and terrible evil...

They left us in charge...

...and we died.

who da what now?

Oh I see, going full Grant Morrison cosmic gibberish makes the previous six issues of teenager misery porn make total sense.

[mastermahan]

Apocatastasis.
Ekpyrosis.
Palingenesis.
Sesquipedalianism.
Honorificabilitudinitatibus.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

We can do that do too, Landry Walker.

To be fair, those three words do all have to do with theological discussions of rebirth and renewal. And apocastastasis has been an arc word throughout the series.

Though I can't deny that having the key word be "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" wouldn't have made a better story.

[mastermahan]

They do have a relevant meaning, but the style of just tossing out obscure words feels like the writer's trying to show off either his theology degree or his thesaurus. How often do you see ekpyrosis used in a sentence?

[featheredserpent]

They went Full Liefeld.
*Never* go Full Liefeld.

LOL. I think it's great that they parodied that era too. Sofar every issue has has an opening page in retrostyle.

This series antagonist went from proxy Captain America abusing a time machine for his own ends to him becoming the avatar for Kronos. Although it had to bemystic in origin and Kronos any way because he wanted the adults out of the way and continued to sacrifice and kill kids.

This book isn't so much a story as it is a compressed plot. If read the whole book, the characters are interesting but there's too little space to explore. Each issue's developments could've easily been an arc.

This book reads like if someone asked Mark Millar to combine Secret Empire, Secret Wars (2015), Rebirth, and Avengers Arena into a limited series.
