Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

I read this on August 22nd, along with All-New Inhumans #11.    (Loved that ending, loved this ending, too.)   Medusa is faced with a choice.   She can choose to follow Doom's lead, or to recognize what a fascist he is - and fight back with Black Bolt.   She chooses the latter, having been told what's really happening.   She now sees through Doom's ruse, and is willing to fight him with everything she has. 

Except it's Doom.  He's planned for all eventualities, even this one, and he's more than ready to take on both Medusa and Black Bolt - even a Black Bolt with a destructive force.   

I didn't see this heartbreaking ending that speaks of cycles, of how violence and fascism thrive, on being doomed to repeat your mistakes coming the first time, and I did the second. I was afraid that it would lose it's impact knowing that surprise twist, and it... did not.   It's as impactful as ever, and I'm in awe of what this series did. 

The best of the Battleworld/Warzones mini-series in my opinion.
