As is typical of Marvel comics during that era, subplots are a plenty and this issue sees 2 plots reaching its apex and thus becoming the main storyFirst up is the Brotherhood after finishing their fight with the Avengers and being incarcerated ... well they are being transported to the middle of nowhere but still in a human prison ... so weird, right? Even the attempt at explanation by the writer sounds wrong ...
And as the cover indicates, Rom comes upon them and a battle ensues but ... for some reason, to ensure that there is a layer more of "story" to it, and a bit of a moral ground, we see Rom initially making the mistake of trusting convicts ... only to be conned ... when he believed the convicts that they were slaves and that the warden is the slavemaster while the prison ... a den for slavery!
Man ... Rom is supposed to be from a pacifist world who comes to save us from Dire Wraiths but the sheer amount of naivette is unbelievable ... and he believes that just because he has the power, he can do whatever he wants to whoever he wants ... how is that heroic? How is that different from the villains? It just so happens that what he feels is deemed to be "heroic" in the real world ... so he is a hero? Well what about attacking guards and freeing prisoners?
Sorry man you fail again!
And then he actually failed to subdue the brotherhood? Sigh!
Next is the other subplot where the fleeing brotherhood encounters SPOILER ALERT Hybrid ... only to have the usual cliffhanger to get us to come back next issue for the continuation ...
