Ya know, I begin to think I woulda done this series 2 issues per post if I\u2019d remembered how little Spider-Man there is in it. He was a valuable part of the ensemble in part 1, then vanished. Maybe he\u2019ll turn up before it\u2019s over. Well, we open on Bendis\u2019 typically out of character Emma in Layla Miller\u2019s head, telling her her power works differently than any psychic she\u2019s ever seen, but because \u201cthe world has been screwed over worse than it has EVER been\u201d (Wildly out of Emma\u2019s voice), Layla may be the only one who can rally the heroes to fix it, and Emma will be there to help her. They come back to the real world just as Scott comes home, and Emma helps Layla focus her power to hit him with the whammy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, there he is. And with the earring and all that! Seems like he\u2019s got a good thing going here in the House of M world, but that\u2019s all over now, as he\u2019s plunged into a 2-page splash of moments form his life, including the death of his House of M wife, his memories of his real one, and the death of his Uncle Ben, which all hit the hardest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Peter\u2019s in a horrible place for sure, but I think he knows Wanda too well to call her \u201chis stupid daughter.\u201d One of the many things this blog has taught me is he\u2019s spent more time with her than I thought, often fighting goofy ol\u2019 Xandu. He\u2019s got more personal connection to her than to Magneto. Maybe that\u2019s a nitpick, whatever. From there, we get a montage of Layla and Emma waking people up, one panel each. Kitty Pryde. Dr. Strange. Ms. Marvel. Tony Stark. Matt Murdock and Jennifer Walters in a two-fer. And then finding Captain America is an old man and realizing they can\u2019t use him. He\u2019ll be sitting this one out. So, now, the gang we\u2019ve assembled so far hangs out somewhere as Emma lays out that Magneto must have forced Wanda to change the world, and somehow forced Xavier to use his powers to help pacify the heroes by giving them fantasy lives, tho now Xavier seems to no longer exist. Hawkeye is still not on board with all this, and refusing to let Layla show him the truth, probably because they told him he\u2019s dead. And then Wolverine\u2019s old crew of SHIELD agents shows up. There\u2019s a brief battle before Layla makes them all see the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what of Magneto, anyway? How\u2019s he doing being boss of the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, bad, as it turns out! With 3 issues to go, the good guys probably won\u2019t be getting to him til the end of next issue at the earliest, but at least Spider-Man is on the team and justifying my covering it a little better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
