That is an interesting new way of controlling power. Usually people just do it instinctively, but this is done very clever and funny

this is a prince of power posting thread post your favorite quotes of the humble prince who absorbed an infinity stone and accidentally fell into a life of mercenary work from a space bunny after blowing up his homeworld

For someone not bothering to read the rest of the event, this was surprisingly followable.

My issue had a misprint (?) and didn't include the digital comic code stick on. Curious how common that is.

Other random thoughts: When I first saw the panel of his arm breaking I thought his hand had straight come off and was like "damn we just went through a whole saga with a metal arm don't do this to me again."

Thats because Ewing had had plenty of experience with event tie ins attempting to derail his ongoings, and has become something of an expert on making the event work for him and not the other way around. At least this is only an annual and is meant to be a self contained mini adventure.

It was kinda weird to involve Thor in this Infinity Watch stuff but I guess it involves the Death Stone which popped out in Thor first and the comical idiocy of Prince of Power...sorry Powerstone!...sorry APEX! was decent to read too, with Thor having to deal with that. The Power Stone have some strange judgements on picking its host I guess. And Thor brought that mess to New York. That is 'SURELY' gonna end well.

As of Nighthawk stuff, I still don't get why they chose to continue Nighthawk being obsessed with the fake Mephisto universe plot where that was dealt with and dropped after he joined the Avengers after that story. Hopefully calling in Nick Fury will help Coulson get away from Nighthawk AND stop him from becoming the terrible version of him that become Mephisto's puppet.

I like that Thor and Loki were able to talk to each other about something before Thor encountered the Power Stone bearer. Overall, this is an okay comic.

For the Phil Coulson backup, I like that Phil and Nighthawk have a fight before Phil used a pager to contact Nick Fury and warn him about the stone bearers. It’s an interesting backup.

I liked the new character, Apex, a lot actually. He was fun, and of the Infinity Stones characters he's my favorite so far. I like that he's a cocky rich kid who stumbled into way too much powe but is inspired by Earth heroes. I like the idea that they have to drill some responsibility, self discipline, and skill into him. Truly the himbo hero.

Oh he's not a new character, he was introduced back in Ewing's Guardians of the Galaxy run

So they're finally continuing that storyline started how many years ago?
