I enjoyed it.

The death of the Young Avengers seemed a bit gratuitous, and having May look EXACTLY like MJ in 30 years was a bit odd

But overall, I thought it was a very interesting issue. I like seeing What Ifs that spin out of recent events. That's the main reason I'm not grousing too much about the fact that I'm essentially forced to buy all of these to get the one story I want the most. They actually look pretty good.

In terms of the writing, I thought it was a good job! I'm really looking forward to Reunion now! :)

Thanks, Ray!

Regarding the YA death, that is actually a scene directly from WINTER SOLDIER: WINTER KILLS special Brubaker did, but in that book, Cap had saved Bucky by then and Bucky was helping them. With Cap dead in this What If before saving Biucky, Winter Soldier was still working for the Red Skull, so I wanted to show how a scene that HAD happened in the Marvel U could actually have played out in this reality

Thanks for the kind words and I hope you enjoy the Reunion!! Only 2 weeks until you get a taste of it in DARK REIGN: NEW NATION!
