Hyperion #6


Image result for hyperion 6 wendig

Hyperion, Issue #6 ends the first arc, as the first six issues (Amazon lists 1-5) are collected in Hyperion, Volume 1: Daddy Issues.  At the end of Issue #5, Hyperion is confronted by Iron Man.  In this issue, they fight.  Iron Man wants to take Hyperion into justice for killing Namor.  Hyperion, on the other hand, says that he brought justice to Namor.  He also says that he can't go because he has to stay and protect Doll from her father (Junior) and the rest of the circus, which is coming in force.

I've grown to appreciate Chuck Wendig's work on this title and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.  Nick Virella and Marc Laming are the artists, and Romulo Fajardo, Jr. is the colorist.  VC's Joe Caramanga does the lettering, and Elizabeth Torque does the cover, the latter of which I particularly like.  The introduction of Iron Man is always a plus, but the reason for Hyperion running off and becoming a truck driver might be that he feels bad about killing Namor.  Namor is the Sub-Mariner, and he is the first mutant published by Marvel, in 1939.  He's sometimes a good guy and sometimes a bad guy.
