HOU17: The Midgame of the Endgame

What’s going on in the Dome? Do we need to care? Are we satisfied with everything being wrapped up nicely in Spider-Man? Was it too convenient? What about X-Men’s dangling plot threads? Where did all of those come from? It's probably hard to end things. Do you like endings? Well, there are more ends to end and friends to friend. Listen and tell a friend. That’s a call to action.
