it did seem out of place.
like a filler issue in an event already too long.

It was easily the best issue.

That's pretty bad if the best issue so far is filler.

Will Marvel learn from this issue being well-received, and do less Huge Event Everything Has Changed stories and more high-profile comics where superheroes have awkward meals together and argue?

Everything good about this issue is ruined by Spencer wanting to pretend AI Ghost Tony is the real Tony. It doesn't make any fucking sense. It's like he wrote SE months in advance before hearing about what Bendis was going to do to Tony in CWII and didn't bother changing it.
If that's the case then Hawkeye could have filled in Tony's role in this story.

I don't see how it was filler. The plot of Secret Empire is basically a fight over the cosmic cube fragments. This issue resolved two of the fragments. Pymtron's and Namor's. Now it's just Xorn's, T'Challa's, and Sauron's barring any unrevealed fragments.
It was also the first instance of the Hydra Avengers coming into conflict with the Underground Avengers.

i actually agree its was pretty good, but was the middle of an already bloated event comic really the place to have a mini continuation of pymtrons story?
kind've got the feeling it was wheel-spinning to by time for the rewrites.

Spencer had been planning a Pym vs. O'Grady vs. Lang arc for his Ant-man run. When his Ant-man run got cancelled, he probably just decided to recycle some of those ideas into this issue hence Black Ant, Pymtron and Lang's inclusions.

>>93340859
that makes sense.
i nearly said something very stupid and suggest the editor ought to have reined spencer in, and told him to drop the leftover ANTS story and focus on keeping the main even tight.

>Ruined by Spencer
That's a long stretch your making to excuse Bendis
