“Chain of Command”
I thought Parker did a great job with this mini.
The loving wife finds him shaking the Dorramu out of the baby, and immediately kicks him out of the house, and says to never approach them again. Sure, a mother is going to be very protective of her child (usually a da would be, too), but she has put up with a lot of unexplained weirdness with him before, and not had an epic freak out like this one. It felt, to me, more like a plot advancing tool than an honest character reaction.
I would’ve liked to have seen more of the wife and kid after the fact (as well as Robbins accepting the situation and leaving what were his last real threads of humanity).
The issue in general felt rather rushed. Every plotpoint was wrapped up, but the execution of it all seemed rather abrupt.
It just seemed to easy a plot device. Possible? Certainly. Yea, watching someone shake your child is definitely near the top of the list for Things To Send One Over The Edge, but it fit too conveniently into the story for me. Otherwise a good series continuing Marvel’s latest crime lord, The Hood, and a very cool one he is.
