Not So New Comic Review: Universe X #6

                We begin this issue with the history of Moon Knight, and quickly transition to New York, where Gargoyle can now feel things, as in human senses, it’s apparent that he already had human emotions if he desired to feel things.  Nighthawk then accuses him of something sinister, as apparently, Mr. Church is using the information he is gathering from the pages supplied to him by Gargoyle to lead the Tong of Creel to all of the pieces of the Absorbing Man.  The odd thing is, Gargoyle is speaking to someone that can see the future, and yet Nighthawk still told him everything that he needed to know.  Maybe Nighthawk couldn’t see that far into the future, to the actual consequences of the actions until they were upon him, but still, you would think someone that had a secret like Gargoyle apparently does wouldn’t try to hide it from someone that can see the future. 

                In Latveria, the Tong of Creel is closing in on the piece of the Absorbing Man that Reed Richards is keeping safe, while in Canada, Sasquatch and Guardian, or, the head of Guardian, to be more specific, realize that they are being overrun by Wolverine-looking mutants. 

                In Egypt, Marv and his band of merry heroes arrive to find Moon Knight fighting against the Sons of Set yet again. The heroes aid Moon Knight and then go to retrieve the statue they came for.  Once they retrieve that, not only do the perpetually regenerating Sons of Set fade into dust, but so does Moon Knight, finally able to die and rest in peace. 

                In Latveria, everyone is fighting the mutants that are trying to douse the “human torch” while Mr. Church enters Doom’s castle to find the piece of the Absorbing Man.  In Japan, Marv has come for the Mandarin’s rings, the next item on his quest, and leaves with the rings and the hands they came on.

                In the realm of the dead, the battle continues between Marv’s dead heroes and Thanos’ dead army.  Moon Knight shows up, which adds another body to the fight, but doesn’t do much else at this point.  On the Moon, X-51 is carting around the Supreme Intelligence who warns him that Marv must be stopped for the sake of all of the multiple realities. 

                In New York, Immortus, now locked out of Limbo, begins to mutate, which sends him into a mental tailspin.  At that moment Mr. Church walks in, asking Immortus to address his flock.  In his current state, Immortus can’t do that, he’s going crazy as it is, so he puts that on Mr. Church, who gladly accepts.
