Aye, this issue was awesome. I only started reading Amazing Spider-Man in TPB form starting with Slott's Big Time, but have since become a big fan of the book and this arc is great so far.
Why didn't Captain America show up and say, "We have conclusive evidence that the phoenix force is coming to Earth. We'd like to park the helicarrier here, and make some plans. Between your facilities and the helicarrier we have plenty of ways to develop any technology we need. Let's work together, we all want to help Hope and the mutants."
But nope, he shows up and says basically, "Hope is coming with us, we're not asking, we're telling you, but in a way so that you feel like we respect you (even though the way we are doing it shows we don't.)"
And what magical place are they planning to take Hope anyway where she will be any safer than Utopia?
I will definitely be reading the first few issues as the Parker/Walker duo has been awesome on Thunderbolts since Siege. Ghost has become one of my absolute favorite characters, and the time travel stories were just great with Walker re-designing their 'period' costumes as they went (my personal favorite being Moonstone's golden age costume). I sincerely hope the Thunderbolts as they have been and are (Songbird, Ghost, etc.) are not simply going to disappear. If that is the case then I feel like one of the best books out there is ending soon.
