We've come down to the last few issues of Rick Remender's Secret Avengers run and the series in general. At this point Remender has managed to successfully tie all of his threads together into one gigantic conflict as Father leads an armada of synthetic lifeforms in an attack on the human world. It's nothing if not an epic finale for this quirky team of Avengers.
One of the more welcome elements of this issue is that Remender doesn't paint the Descendants as faceless oppressors. Starting with the opening flashback of Human Torch's early years that transitions into Torch's rallying speech and ranging all the way to Father's speech to the United Nations, Remender paints these characters as simply one culture struggling to coexist with a hostile world. And though Father's actions throughout the series sort of betray his true nature, it's hard to ignore the ring of truth in his words.
