I gotta admit, I was highly amused by the opening scene where Morgan is having her epic hissy fit because Wanda is missing, and then Mordred busts in going, "Hey, you're late for your appointment with the ambassador." This pretty much confirms my impression from the previous issue about how Morgan really hasn't properly thought through her Evil Overlord ambitions. Mordred is kind of a ninny, but he does at least seem concerned with the daily business of ruling the world. Morgan doesn't really want to rule the world, she just wants to be able to go "Nyah-nyah, I rule the world!" while batting the Avengers around.

LOL at Clint actually getting everybody to dress up as monks to sneak into the castle. Sorry, Clint, but the Robin Hood stories aren't actually a how-to guide.

Loved the ending, with all the heroes rallying behind Wanda and giving her their strength, and Simon sacrificing himself, and Wanda helping him do it, because they're all Avengers and that's what Avengers do. It's exactly the sort of thing I love best about the Avengers mythos. I had hoped to see stories like that again when Marvel promised us the Heroic Age, but it never really happened, and now it looks as if the Heroic Age is over anyway. Sigh.

Anyhow, this whole story was great fun and I'm glad I got the chance to read and discuss it.
