This has been the best arc of America’s Elite so far, which isn’t much of a compliment, considering how bad this series has been. The big reveal of Phoenix Guard’s true identities is the issue’s major highlight, though to be honest, most people should have figured it out quite a while ago. Never-the-less, seeing all these classic villains making a comeback after being absent for such a long time was rather endearing. The cover is very misleading, with the Baroness only really appearing on the last page. The return of Duke (FINALLY!) hit the spot and should lead to a satisfactory conclusion. All-in-all, one of the better issues so far, but this is a pretty mediocre book to begin with.
