This issue kind of wraps up the previous story-line about one of Marc's old nemesis', Carson Knowles. It also answered the question about what he would do about the Registration Act. The answer? . . . get registered. Of course the real question is how will that sit with Director Tony Stark? After all, Marc's reputation more than precedes him. Anyways, Carson has been going around killing people and then carving Marc's signature crescent moon into their foreheads. Which lead to Tony putting the clamp down on him. Marc's told him that he's being framed, but the evidence is just to overwhelming. Plus . . Tony's in a position now that he has to answer to public opinion. However, just before Marc pushes Carson off the top of a building, Carson has let loose a nanobot virus, basically, onto the unsuspecting population below. So, even though he's dead, they're still all infected. So we don't really know what kind of ramifications that will have on the future, yet. But I'm sure it's going to come back to bite him in the ass sometime. Also it looks as if he make have to make a fresh start. Crawley helped him get away from the scene, after the . . . landing. But he can't go back home because SHIELD is there clearing everything out. Which is all perfect timing for next issue's shift. Mike Benson, and I assume Charlie Huston, will be staying on board as the writers, but next issue art will be done by Mike Deodato Jr. Also it'll feature a story about Werewolf by Night. After that, Mark Texeira will be back on the art chores for the next story-arc involving . . . Venom. That should be different. I like that this book still plays outside the normal rules of comics. Sure it has to follow the format, but story wise . . it always seems to go in it's own direction. Which to me, is what makes it one of my favorite books.
