I put off reading this one for a little while, because this book is really not thrilling me lately. The covers have remained awesome. The interiors though, both scripts and pencils, just seem weak. This issue wraps up the storyline about the Doom-bot. Oh, and the Headmen. I think that's what they're called. They really are a lame bunch of bad guys. If it wasn't for the Doom-bot, the Heroes would've wipe up these guys right off the bat. As it is, the Doom-bot shoots and kills Orka. Which really upsets Shang-Chi. So much so, that after a few minutes of meditation, Shang-Chi takes out the whole group, including the Doom-bot, all by himself. And he doesn't exhibit a whole lot of restraint when doing so. He beats up on the Doom-bot so bad, that he's broken both his hands. Meanwhile the girls have been trying to foil a diamond heist, as they were hired by the diamond cartel to do. They did stop the bomb, saving the Statue of Liberty. And they did return with the Grim Reaper, who seems to be the muscle behind this whole operation. But, they didn't return with the diamond or the information of their whereabouts. So overall that operation was a bust. And so they didn't get paid. But the Palladin has been offered $10million to take on an operation for the government, and he's decided that he's going to offer the job to the Heroes. Paying them a million each. I don't know . . . the whole issue just wasn't really my cup of tea. I mean, they even had to reattach Humbug's head to his body in this issue. And that particular feat was very anti-climatic. Maybe it's just me, but at this rate, I really don't feel this book has long to live.
