A lot of explanations in issues 11 and 12, with very nice art by Mirco Pierfederici. What are the Concordance Engines? They're anchors that pull the fantastic to Earth in this universe, as a way of creating superhumans to defeat the Death Celestials.

And then issue 10 gives us this sequence, which I love so much I've thought about getting it printed on shirts or tattooed on my body or just finding some way to have it near me at all times.

Black Cat joins the book in issue 7 (Dodson's last), and then Jamie McKelvie comes on as artist for issues 8-10 and draws probably my favourite Black Cat ever.
If I ever get a chance at a commission from him (unlikely, but a dream) Felicia would be near the top of the list.

In the first 3 issues they build up that Nul is the Breaker of Worlds, and he is coming to destroy the Concordance Engine, and when he does the Universe will break.
Then he actually gets his chance, and we find out it was all a feint to show off how powerful Prester John is.

Others are just jokes, or classic "story continued after next page" blurbs, or ad blurbs for other comics.
Some of the captions Fraction is writing now in Jimmy Olsen remind me of these, as do the footnote blurbs in Squirrel Girl.

I love this series so much that I own 2 copies of every issue, and variants, and the trades. If you're going to read it, I recommend the single issues, because the trades cut out the footnotes at the bottom. Some of them are story relevant lines, because everything is connected.

As openings go, it doesn't get much better. The series spun out of Fraction's Fear Itself event and was better than that by far. The black monster is Nul, Breaker of Worlds, who possessed Hulk during Fear Itself but was separated from him in the end.

So Matt Fraction's name has come up in my feed a couple of times this week, and it's made me want to revisit my personal favourite comic that he's ever written - Defenders.

OMG @DavidNakayama I love this!
