Vengeance #6 (of 6)

This was the conclusion of the series, and characteristically Casey plays fast and loose with events, maybe not really getting a sense of closure, and maybe that's because Marvel realized that they can probably keep this story going, sensing how special this experience really was, a wicked ride that takes a look at how things will be a few years in the future, when a new generation rises and tries to figure out what exactly all those familiar heroes you've followed have actually achieved in terms of the battle against evil. Only by using new characters could you explore this kind of question, and Casey does a fair bit of elaborating in this issue on his conclusions (at least so far!). As I've said before, this comic is like taking the superhero genre to the next chapter.
