Oh dear Mishka is powerful. What an issue! I liked how it's already giving teases to Divinity III. I really enjoyed how Abram is told not not create any alternative realities and Abram asks, "how would you know if I did?" Then, it's Mishka doing just that as she revels her intentions to Abram before she seemingly kills Divinity?

Probably would've been a great reveal had we not heard about Divinity 3 a head of time. Also hope Abrahms not dead it'd bee such a waste. Plus I guess we can say Ninjak knows about the other Ninja's at MI5 huh.

Wonderful issue, the confrontation begins!

The art is outstanding, great color by Baron. I liked the panel layouts, too I liked when Divinity reappears, we see Aric snapping on his helmet immediately. That side shot of X-O a few panels before was a bit much, kinda reminded me of Liefeld's ridiculous Cap picture... the chest is way too prominent and low.

Can't wait to see more, I love alternate history stories.

I thought we might see a time warp battle with Divinity and Myshka each warping back time a few seconds before the other cast their own warp... that'd be a cool movie scene.

Wow it is really cool seeing these god like creatures go at it in a way only a comic book can deliver. I love the face-plant into the center of the Earth thing (even though, like wouldn't that cause a major earthquake). It's a nice setup for the conflict ahead. With god like powers would you be able to limit yourself? Mishka is playing a dangerous game with the fabric of reality, makes me wonder how omnipotent they really are. Like couldn't she accidentally wipe herself out if she starts messing with the timeline? That'd be interesting to see. I love the heady sci-fi concepts at play here. And he loves those butterfly guns huh?

So we add Ninja-L to the Shademen and get a name for Lady Divinity, who seems even more powerful than Divinity himself. I cannot be the only one getting the Solar-Mothergod vibe twist here, right?
Unity seems to continue fighting, despite the absences of a title and Gilad. We need Unity Redux. The series just got even better and Myshka bossing Koba over is just classic comic-bookery. StalinVerse is bound to be great fun..

Loved It, All of It, especially the part where Unity and MI-6, realized that they was never in control, that scene was priceless!!

THIS. Totally Solar vs. Mothergod, down to leaving him in a self imposed 'death' state until he later gets a boost of self confidence to make his comeback I'm sure!

If Divinity is dead theirs no stopping Miska. He will probably regenerate him self some how but If he's dead the universe is florked to *SQUEE*. I'm very curious about the place the cosmonauts visited. And Wat about battery guy he has the same powers theirs no reason he can't make an apperance.
Do you guys think Miska made all that gold??

I thought it was pretty obvious, myself. But if a country had the power to manufacture gold out of thin air, guess what would happen to the price of gold in very short order.

I'm now sure what the stalinverse will be.

An alternate timeline where the soviets took over the world with the help of Myska.

It could be an interesting part of the valiant universe to have.

Yes,

Yeah, it's too bad it's not a regular monthly. It'll be a long wait until Divinity III Stalinverse once this wraps up.

This had to be one of my favorite issues of any Valiant comic so far. Just reread after reading #3.

Love the cameos, the Godlike battle, the bending of reality, and the cool one liners.

The art and writing is just exceptional. :clap:
