Marvel’s Children of the Vault combines the high-concept sci-fi of Deniz Camp’s Agent of W.O.R.L.D.E. and the global politics of his 20th Century Men, and throws in the I-hate-you-but-you-shoot-guns-good attitude of your better buddy action movies.
But I do wonder why the events of this book aren’t being reflected elsewhere in the Marvel line. No offhand references to “that floating city” in Spider-Man or anything.
Eh, chalk it up to the whole time works differently in the Vault thing.
Anyway, it’s one of the best Fall of X books, so make sure you’re reading it.
