Kang is on the run. After the events of the previous issue, which pretty much shattered the firewall of time, Kang now just sort of hides out amongst his interwoven timeline. In it, he's constructed a system in which several generals he's entrusted run one supply line across space time continuum to fund another. He also reveals his natural time - the 31st century. In it, he built a time traveling apparatus and began studying the notes of Victor Von Doom himself, among others.
He created an army in Ancient Egypt - calling himself Rama-Tut, and constructed pyramids in which to stash his artifacts, available when he needed them. He traveled into the 41st century, investigating the symbols of his own impending death, and rewrote the code. But now, his lieutenants are beginning to go missing. One by one, his resources are turning to dust. Time for Kang is running out as images of the Avengers fill his future. And for the first time, he's afraid.
This issue was super abstract, and I get it, sometimes you have to have a little fluff with your books. The past few issues have been action packed so we knew we were on the cusp of one just being a time-drag. This was it. If you like humongous swaths of 2 page panels, filled with whispy paint art and banter - then this is your book. Sadly, for the first time, the best part of a Marvel comic is the Alex Ross cover. I give it a 5/10.
