Midnight Suns #5
SCORE: 49
I am so happy that this series is finally done. Reading Midnight Suns
has been a challenge. There was some excitement to finally get to the
last one and be done with it. Midnight Suns #5 is the last comic in this
series. There are some things left open ended so it may come back like a
cockroach at some future date. There will be spoilers in this review.
The last issue left us off with the fact that the Armageddon had come.
It was the end of this world and no one felt fine.
The credits page of Midnight Suns #5 gives a recap of what is going on.
Corina is now Korrosion. I guess she needed some big bad villain name or
something. The Midnight Suns are trapped and unable to get back to their
world. So the female Ghost Rider contacts herself in an alternate
timeline to send a message back in time. That way they can change the
timeline. How any of this supposedly works is not really explained.
The issues families will have with Midnight Suns #5 are blood, violence,
lack of attire, enticement to lust, magic, bad language, and more. This
magical mirror is very important to winning in Midnight Suns #5. The end
of the world is averted but no one actually winds up dying. That
includes the bad character Korrosion. Agatha Harkness does steal some of
Korrosion’s power and Agatha winds up looking much younger.
There is an interesting page near the beginning of Midnight Suns #5
where we find out the mother did not want Agatha and those witches
connected with her daughter. Too bad it wound up happening anyways. That
mother’s wishes were not granted in the future. Unless that was also
some alternate timeline that has gone away. There are twenty pages of
content within Midnight Suns #5. There are advertisements found
throughout the Midnight Suns #5 comic book.
All in all Midnight Suns #5 was pretty underwhelming. The whole
alternate timeline was pretty lame. Did that timeline go away? Or are
the heroes all dead in the alternate timeline? Wolverine was confused by
what happened as well. In fact he is the only character in Midnight Suns
#5 that made much sense in the end. The Bullpen Bulletins was not really
interesting either. Mainly a rah, rah this chick is so amazing. At the
end of the day all parts of Midnight Suns #5 made me yawn.
