With Chris Claremont writing this, I gotta' wonder, is the story as it seems. Right now, Blink, Longshot and Spider-man have been brainwashed over to HYDRA. Sabretooth, Morph and Betsy are doing the best they can to fight their way through their forces. And from what Sabretooth has been able to glean from the Tallus, their best option is to kill Reed Richards. They figure that way at least none of the bad guys will be able to get off of this earth to threaten another. If Reed lives, they probably will. So they figure it's best to sacrifice this earth. But Betsy doesn't completely buy the plan. Sabretooth and Morph have stayed behind to keep the ninja's busy, while Betsy has secreted off to do the job. We know that she makes contact with Reed, but, as of this issue, we don't know what the extent or outcome of that contact is. But HYDRA seems to have everyone, and everything on their side. Reed has obviously given up on Sue, because he's in love with Elektra. Creed has to take down Captain America, and Sue takes down Nick Fury and Callisto. But then on the final page, it seems that Creed and Morph are holding their own against overwhelming forces, until Slaymaster shows up. They may not be able to extend this battle much longer. This is Chris' first story-arc. I can't wait to see where he goes after this. And I really hope Paul Pelletier stays on this title for as long as possible. But I'm worried, because he's taking over another title next month. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. We're probably only about 2 story-arcs away from #100.
